SHE LOVES ME To Be Live Streamed On June 30th — Page 4

Just to clarify, if you're already a subscriber of BroadwayHD, you can access the live stream of She Loves Me anyway possible (app, browser Apple TV, Roku etc.) However, if you're just paying the ten bucks for the live stream then that is browser only. So it's web browser only across the board. Just clarifying because I personally found MarkBearSF's initial postings about this a little confusing. Maybe others may as well.

The following passage is from Broadwayworld's article about this.

"Visit broadwayhd.com/shelovesme to reserve a live stream pass to "She Loves Me" on June 30 at 8 p.m. EDT for $9.99. "She Loves Me" is free with all annual subscriptions to BroadwayHD's on-demand library. BroadwayHD annual subscribers in the United States can watch the "She Loves Me" live stream on BroadwayHD's Roku and Apple TV apps."

Great news! Alas, it'll be the middle of a working day in my time zone as well. I personally think these streams, audio broadcasts and similar should be scheduled on Saturday nights (according to a US time zone) more often than not. That way, people in time zones both ahead of and behind the US will at least have the stream occur during their weekend. And, in some cases (perhaps not this one), stop with the geoblocking! We foreigners are the ones who are least likely to be able to see the production live on stage as an alternative (and give the production our money for 'real' tickets), after all. #grumble If it works best to film it on another night, then I say film it one night and stream it the following Saturday; I don't care if it's not live. I also like the idea of a ticketed 'encore' or two of a stream at different times, as with Daddy Long Legs.

But still, I'm glad that this sort of thing is happening, and hopefully will continue to happen. At least more theatre fans will be able to enjoy this show than otherwise would have.

I've never paid to stream a thing in my life. Is the any advantage/disadvantage to purchasing the live stream now? (I'm old, me & technology will always have a love/hate thang going on.)

Just a note for all those talking about whether or not they'll be able to catch it, or why is it on such an inconvenient day, etc.

These things are scheduled for the convenience of the show and the people filming. The streaming date is only that, a streaming date. After that it is available on demand as part of their regular stock of filmed shows. You can watch it any time you want, at your convenience.

Okay, so BroadwayHD replied to my question in the comments section on their website and clarfied a few things that I think they should have specified in the initial release.



"The live stream will be available for a full week after the 30th for those who can't make it to the live event!"

and

"Since this is a special event live stream it will be taken down for edits and put back on the website in a few months."

So I think everyone who wants to see it now has to buy the $9.99 (unless you have a subscription), you can't pay to rent just that title for 2 days for another couple months.

I don't know where you're getting $9.99. The BroadwayHD website says it's $14.99 per month. Seriously steep considering their limited catalogue, which is mostly old BBC and PBS broadcasts with some recent home video releases that are easily bought (many of them for less than $14.99). You can buy a year's subscription in advance and save a whopping 90 cents per month. Ugh.

Only if you want to see the live streamed version and the edited version once it's in the library...

Besty, if you click on a show that's in the library, it gives you an option to "watch now" which leads you to a "purchase" option, which leads you to the two day rental price. This price varies. Elain Stritch At Liberty was $7.99

She Loves Me is not yet in the library. But if you click on the She Loves Me banner on the main page, then look to the upper right corner...$9.99. It's really not the most user friendly site.

I have already bought my "ticket" and I paid 9.99.

Does anyone know if you are already a subscriber to BHD, like it seems none of us are, would you be able to watch the livestream as part of your subscription or would an additional payment be required to see it night of broadcast as opposed to waiting until it enters the catalogue proper?

Subscriptions seem to be U.S. based only. Grrrrrrr!

Can rent individual shows so I guess I can try after the fact. Again. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

So bottom line, if you are not a subscriber and are available to watch the live stream you can--for a fee. Otherwise, non-subscribers have to wait 2 months and then may purchase an edited version. Hope I can be home to watch the non-edited version as a non-subscriber. I can wait 2 months if I have to, but the first option seems more like a real theater experience -- flaws and all. (hopefully no buffering problems)

Is this going to be available for purchase or is all that just speculation at this point?

If She Loves Me can be live streamed any chance someone out there can get Bright Star live streamed? It's such a gorgeous show and it deserves to live on
