Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are getting a Broadway musical
Yes, you read that correctly: A musical about the late Steve Jobs and Bill Gates is coming to Broadway, the famed theatre hub in New York City. The production, titled Nerds (because of course it is), will be a comedy that narrates the rivalry between the Apple and Microsoft co-founders. To make the story more interesting, and pay homage to its tech-savvy subjects, Nerds is going to feature holograms on stage and an app that lets audience members interact with the set and each other.
BroadwayHD streaming service brings the theater to you
There's no doubt live and on-demand streaming services are the future of entertainment. Knowing that, BroadwayHD is launching a new product with video content from over 100 theater performances. The digital service, created by two stage producers, features a vast library of previously recorded shows that are being distributed in a Netflix-esque way. You'll find stage productions like Memphis, Romeo and Juliet, Copenhagen and Jekyll and Hyde, as well as a variety of others in categories including classics, comedy, drama and musicals. BroadwayHD offers an annual access tier for $170, or $15 per month, while two-day rentals can be purchased for $8. At the moment, there's no app for the service, but its mobile site does support both AirPlay and Chromecast -- and you could always watch on your laptop or desktop, of course.
