Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber announced on Thursday that he will begin streaming his musicals for free while theaters remain closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
“The Shows Must Go On” series will feature one of Webber’s musicals each week on their YouTube channel, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The first show to be aired will be the 2000 performance of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” starring Donny Osmond, according to Variety.
The week after, the 2012 production of “Jesus Christ Superstar” will be available to stream on the channel, Variety reported.
Webber has stayed in close contact with his fans while in isolation through his Twitter account, according to Variety.
Last week, Webber invited fans to share videos of themselves singing “Any Dream Will Do” from “Joseph” and awarded his favorite performers tickets to his upcoming musical, “Cinderella,” the Deseret News reported.
Even though Osmond himself dropped his own video with a performance of the song, Webber did not award him any tickets, according to the Deseret News.
“Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” will stream on YouTube starting April 3 at 12 p.m. MST and will be available for 48 hours, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
