If you’re missing Broadway, New York City’s PBS channel, WNET and their Great Performances series has you covered. They’ve made five episodes of the series free for everyone through May 27th. They include last summer’s Shakespeare in the Park production of Much Ado About Nothing and a UK stage production of the classic The Sound of Music from 2015.
