A new streaming channel, Broadway on Demand, makes its debut on Sunday, May 17 with “30 Days of Opening Nights,” filmed presentations of Broadway titles, classes, concerts, interviews, and more. Broadway on Demand will also be the future new home of the MAC Award winning series, Piano Bar Live! Details on this new venture for PBL! will be forthcoming. Also headed to the new channel are New York City Ballet Principal Tiler Peck’s ongoing daily class “Turn It Out With Tiler,” as well as Frankie James Grande’s “Dream Role” series.
To celebrate the launch, Broadway on Demand will host the one-night-only “A Night of Covenant House Stars” benefit May 18, with host Audra McDonald, plus Morgan Freeman, Usher, Meryl Streep, Dolly Parton, Stephanie J. Block and Dionne Warwick.
Original weekly programming created specifically for the service will include the designer-focused “The Craftsmen” with photographer Matthew Murphy, the YouTube spiral-inspired ‘Broadway Fanatic” with Laura Heywood, the cabaret series ‘Acoustic Café’ (launching May 20 with special guest Adam Pascal) and ‘First Look: New Musicals,” which previews in-development work.
Among the filmed performances to be streamed is Broadway’s Allegiance, premiering on May 29. Members of the original 2015 Broadway company, including George Takei and Telly Leung, will also take part in a virtual red carpet event.
