Broadway represents some of the best and most exciting of what
American theater has to offer. But for many people, it’s
inaccessible. Whether because of geography, cost or other
considerations, most people will never sit in a Broadway theater
and experience a play or a musical in person.

For years, cast recordings have offered a way to experience
Broadway shows at a remove. And now, in the streaming era, some
Broadway shows are making themselves available to be watched
remotely, in movie theaters and on television. Distance and
expense aren’t the impediments they once were to culture lovers
looking to experience world-class theater.

In this episode, Gilbert Cruz talks with Jesse Green and
Elisabeth Vincentelli, two of The New York Times’s culture
writers, about new ways to experience some of the joys of theater
from the comfort of your own home.

On Today’s Episode:

Jesse Green is a Culture correspondent, focusing
primarily on the fine arts, including theater, classical music
and art.

Elisabeth Vincentelli writes about culture for
The Times.
