Here’s what to expect:įriday October 9: ‘The Phantom of the Opera’ Though The Shows Must Go On YouTube series continues with a weekly schedule of non-Lloyd Webber musicals, the Phantom is making a return this week.Īs before, the show goes live on the channel on Friday at 7pm BST (2pm EDT, 5am AEDT), and remains viewable for 48 hours afterward (24 hours in the UK and Ireland). Now there’s another chance to catch the biggest Lloyd Webber show of them all: ‘ The Phantom of the Opera’. Links to charitable organisations were provided. In addition to full-length videos, the channel streamed clips and behind-the-scenes footage. The composer’s Really Useful Group, in partnership with Universal, started offering free broadcasts of the greatest Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals, including such megahits as ‘ Cats’ and ‘ Jesus Christ Superstar’.Ī different Lloyd Webber musical was streamed each week on The Shows Must Go On!, a YouTube channel devoted to this project. Back in April, as lockdowns kept theatres dark on Broadway and beyond, arts institutions like the National Theatre and the Metropolitan Opera helped keep the ghost light burning by providing filmed versions of stage shows to audiences at home. Soon composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, a veritable institution unto himself, was pitching in as well.
