FROM WIKIPEDIA:
BroadwayHD is an on-demand digital streaming media company. Based in New York City, the company records and distributes live theater performances and previously recorded theatrical productions through its platform.
Stewart F. Lane and Bonnie Comley, Tony Award-winning producers, wanted to democratize the niche market of Broadway by filming live productions and making them available to a wider audience through the internet. As long standing members of the community, they formed agreements with all 17 unions, guilds and associations behind Broadway shows so that show creators are compensated for filming. BroadwayHD has partnered with leading theatre companies such as Roundabout Theatre Company, The Public Theater, Manhattan Theatre Club, The Geffen and Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. BroadwayHD’s website, which featured on demand streaming, launched in fall 2015 with 100 titles from Broadway and London’s West End.
