Cats. Based on a book of poetry by T.S. Eliot, Cats was one of Broadway’s longest-running musicals. The production features an iconic costume and set design by John Napier, leglendary make-up design by Candace Carell, fabulous choreography by Gillian Lynne, and of course the anthem “Memory,” one of the more successful songs to come from a musical in the last 40 years. Stream on BroadwayHD or Amazon Prime.

Billy Elliot the Musical. Elton John and Lee Hall’s Billy Elliot The Musical tells the story of a little boy in a small British town who prefers ballet to boxing, much to the dismay of his conservative working-class community. Available on YouTube, Amazon Prime, iTunes, Google Play or Vudu.

Into the Woods. Into the Woods was one of Sondheim’s most successful Broadway shows. It is a mash-up of fairytales that appeals to many ages. Available to stream on YouTube, Google Play, Vudu, and Amazon Prime.

Peter Pan. J.M. Barrie’s classic story of the flying boy who never grows up has been one of the most frequently adapted stories out there since it premiered in 1904. The 2000 revival is available to stream on BroadwayHD and Amazon Prime.
