The biggest names. The biggest plays. The biggest musicals

This is not a cinema – this is the world’s greatest stage. It’s a view from the front row, the royal circle, the box and the balcony. It’s being surrounded by transfixed audience members as the biggest stars in the world deliver an award-worthy performance. It’s being blown away by a scintillating musical number or unforgettable Christmas panto. 

Thanks to Big Screen Theatre, attending sold out performances at the National Theatre and other venues around the world is no longer an issue. And the best part? You can experience it all in stunning 4K for a fraction of the price.

What you need to know

We show two types of Big Screen Theatre: live showings (which are captured and broadcast as they happen) and encore showings (live broadcasts that have been taped). There are no adverts or trailers played before live performances, so make sure you arrive right on time so you don’t miss a minute.

If the live performance has an interval or two, the broadcast will too. You can stretch your legs or order a drink at the bar.

After the show, clap and cheer as loud and long as you want. There’s a thrill in knowing that with live-streamed productions, as actor Damien Molony said, "There’ll be “standing ovations all over the world, all at the same time."
