Vanya
Singer-actress Sara Bareilles, who wrote the music and lyrics for the musical dramedy Waitress, stars as the titular small-town server Jenna Hunterson in the 2023 live recording of the stage show. Based on the sweet 2007 film of the same name by the late, great Adrienne Shelly, the musical sees Jenna desperate to leave her abusive husband Earl (played by Joe Tippett) but when she unexpectedly becomes pregnant with Earl's child, she begins an affair with her obstetrician, Dr. Jim Pomatter (Drew Gehling). A two-hour-plus performance of the stage musical was recorded in 2021 during its limited run at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre in New York City; you can now watch Waitress: The Musical on Max.
Rent
There have been numerous movie versions of the 1930s musical Anything Goes but you can also check out a filmed recording of the 2021 stage production, a London revival directed and choreographed by Kathleen Marshall and starring Sutton Foster as Reno Sweeney. Set aboard the luxurious S.S. American that’s sailing from New York to London, the story follows a love triangle involving Reno, a nightclub singer-turned-evangelist; Billy Crocker (Samuel Edwards), a lovelorn stockbroker-slash-stowaway; and Hope Harcourt (Nicole-Lily Baisden), the debutante heiress he's in love with but who is already engaged to a wealthy British lord. The filmed version of Anything Goes can be streamed with a Prime Video subscription.
Kinky Boots
The Tony, Grammy and Olivier Award-winning musical Kinky Boots comes from some pop-culture heavyweights: we’re talking music and lyrics by singing icon Cyndi Lauper, book by legendary playwright Harvey Fierstein, and direction and choreography by Tony winner Jerry Mitchell (The Full Monty, Hairspray). The West End production of the show, which starred Matt Henry as Lola and Killian Donnelly as Charlie, was captured live at London’s Adelphi Theatre and released in cinemas in June 2019. The filmed performance is available for streaming on BroadwayHD and Great Performances (PBS).
Billy Elliot the Musical
Stephen Daldry, who directed the 2000 film Billy Elliot, returned to the director’s seat for the 2014 filmed version of the coming-of-age stage musical. With songs by Elton John, the musical adaptation similarly focuses on an eleven-year-old British boy (played by Elliott Hanna) living in a coal-mining family County Durham in the mid-1980s, who goes against the wishes of his father (Deka Walmsley) and follows his dreams of becoming a professional ballet dancer. Filmed in September 2014 at the Victoria Palace Theatre in London's West End, Billy Elliot: The Musical Live is available to watch with a Prime Video subscription.
