Question about the upcoming Fleabag NT Live broadcast for Sept 12, which might apply to most NT Live broadcasts...  Per the NT Live website, it says 

"See the hilarious, award-winning, one-woman show that inspired the BBC’s hit TV series Fleabag, broadcast live to cinemas from London’s West End"

Obviously, it's not broadcast "live" given the time difference. Or do they just broadcast the production from the 12th?

I think there actually are screenings that will be live. If you select a screening through ntlive.com, whether the screening is "live" or an "encore" will be noted. The live screenings will obviously have to take place in the early afternoon.

Side note: I saw the show in London a couple weeks ago after tragically missing it when it was in New York. Ya'll are in for a treat.

The earliest broadcast times I've seen are 7pm, which would be midnight in the UK...

I think that they're live in certain parts of Europe and delayed in the U.S.

Yep, those would be "encores" not live. City Cinemas 123 claims to have a "live" screening at 1:45pm, but it is long sold out.
