Joseph and the amazing technicolour dreamcoat tomorrow at 2pm!

Thank you!

It says 2pm ET (eastern time- usa) which is 7pm UK

Ah OK, thanks for that. I'd be trying to watch it at 2pm like a lemon otherwise!

it says available for 48 hours

Thank you. That sounds fantastic!

I was just saying a few months ago I wish all original cast shows were recorded for posterity and so you could go back and watch them years later. Obviously Disney are releasing a film of Hamilton with the original cast, I wish this were true for all musicals. And plays!

Will definitely be watching some of these :)

I'm listening to the soundtrack now in preparation. Bloody love it!

Brilliant thank you

Amazing, thank you!

We’ve just watched the National Theatre screening of this week’s free play-this is excellent news!

Does anyone know how you can watch these things afterwards if you can’t watch at the 7pm slot?

I don't know, sorry... I'm planning my entire day around it tomorrow

Ooh glad I've seen this, def gonna educate my children to this musical theatre magic 😍 thanks OP x

Thank you 😊

@Appuskidu I would imagine it’s just up on YouTube for the 48hrs to watch.

Nearly all shows are recorded for posterity but not necessarily recorded for audience viewing purposes if that makes sense?

National Theatre live YouTube chanel is showing a show per week as is ALW's channel. There are lots of others around too including Digital theatre.

The National Theatre ones are available for a week each.

There's a link in the info but about buying a copy of the recording to keep... m.youtube.com/watch?v=N6XjXfQmZ4Q

Fab! Thank you for sharing

Oooh, Which version is it?

Sorry yes, I meant I wish they were available to view, even if they didn’t release them for a set period of time - I can’t imagine it would stop people going to the theatre but theatre nerds like me could get to see shows they’d never be able to see otherwise. There are several productions where I’d absolutely love to be able to see the original production - and sadly I never get to the theatre at all any more due to the kids. One day!

DH: what on earth are you listening to?!

Me: Joseph mega mix!

DH: oh God, you've actually lost the plot.

Me:

Wow, how awesome!!

I've just watched tonight's offering with James Corden.Superb and I'll be sending a donation to the National Theatre tomorrow. Just now, tho, time to wash up my dinner dishes..

I was in the UK touring production as a child - I need to watch this to reminisce! Thanks

Brilliant Op, thanks for sharing, and also the time clarification from another PP.
