Why Live?

Posted: 1/28/19 at 10:08am

I love live theater as much as all of you. The thrill of seeing performers live, even if on TV, is wonderful and knowing that every performance is a little bit different.

That said, I would much rather see a filmed or taped near perfect stage production. I didn't watch RENT Live, I'm one of the few people who don't really care for the show. And after reading the East Coast reviews here I was fine with skipping it.

Do these live shows cost as much (or more or less) than a filmed version? Also producers might be able to attract higher quality performers who can't commit to the long rehearsal lead-time for live TV productions.

I assume a couple of reasons are:

1) As this show proved....anything can happen leading up to or during a live show. Theoretically that creates headlines and more interest either during the broadcast or for later, for streaming/DVD purposes.

2) Live programming is one of the few areas where the networks still have a clear edge. There are plenty of filmed shows on streaming services, but this is something that's simply different and (so far) hasn't been done by internet-based networks.
