The next show to stream via Universal’s free YouTube channel The Shows Must Go On will be the 25th anniversary version of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera, filmed at the Royal Albert Hall in 2011. The show features Ramin Karimloo as the Phantom and Sierra Boggess as Christine.
As usual, theatre fans will be able to access the show from 7pm on Friday 17 April 2020, totally free of charge. However, in the UK the show will only be available via the channel for 24 hours (so a Friday night viewing/Saturday matinee is advised!).

Aimed at giving locked-down theatre fans access to a West End or Broadway experience in their own homes, the new channel has been launched by Universal Pictures Home Video Entertainment’s Content Group.
A new show is released online every week from 7 pm British Standard Time, normally for a limited 48-hour period. With no charge or sign-up fee payable, theatre fans who are able are being asked to make a donation to charitable organisations offering help and support to people in the industry facing hardship as the theatre closedown continues. The charities listed on The Shows Must Go On channel include Acting For Others, Broadway Cares and the Actors Benevolent Fund.
Alongside the full-length shows, clips of famous performances and behind-scenes footage will also be uploaded regularly to the channel.
