(Edit: The TL;DR version of the below is that it turns out this is indeed legit, and this group is now using a different website: https://www.streamingmusicals.com/#!/browse/film/6604/emma.)
Does anybody happen to know if this is legit? This site is saying that Paul Gordon's musical of 'Emma' will be... or has been?... filmed on a soundstage in a 'mid-century modern' reimagining, and will be made available to stream online for a price. A group called 'Streaming Musicals' is behind this. The webpage seems a bit half-finished, the pre-order button doesn't go anywhere, the video is from another show, and some of those photos don't look very professional... I'm confused. If this is real, I guess this must be a low-budget endeavour. Not that there's anything necessarily wrong with that.

On the "perhaps it's real" side of the scale, Paul Gordon has written a couple of articles for this site in the past, unless they're fake too. And we know he's okay with having his productions filmed.

According to Paul Gordon's website (though nowhere else that I can find), there were once plans to bring 'Emma' to Off-Broadway (live, presumably) in Spring 2018. That page also mentions a stream of his 'Sense and Sensibility' that I don't think ever happened.

Who knows? Is this the start of something wonderful and new, or one more stream that they cannot make true? Seriously, does anybody know?
