Lincoln Center To Stream Broadway Shows On Fridays In June

UPPER WEST SIDE, MANHATTAN — New Yorkers missing Broadway shows — which were canceled until Labor Day amid the coronavirus pandemic — can get their fix in a new virtual offering from Lincoln Center in June.

Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts has announced "Broadway Fridays," a weekly free online stream of Broadway shows from its archive that will begin June 5. The virtual shows will feature Broadway productions that were broadcast from Lincoln Center Theater and the New York Philharmonic.

The shows are part of the "Lincoln Center At Home" online line-up that the venue started after closing to in-person shows in March.

The Broadway Friday broadcasts can be found on Lincoln Center’s Youtube and Facebook page at 8 p.m. each Friday.

Here's the line-up so far:

• Friday, June 5: Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Carousel with the New York Philharmonic
• Friday, June 12: Lincoln Center Theater’s production of The Nance
• Friday, June 19: Lincoln Center Theater’s production of Act One

Other Lincoln Center At Home shows include a virtual "Memorial For Us All," held each Sunday, that invites those who have lost a loved one during the pandemic to submit their name to be honored in a broadcast hosted by top-name artists like Yo-Yo Ma and Brian Stokes Mitchell.

The rest of "Lincoln Center At Home" online classes and virtual performances can be accessed on its website. The virtual library includes "pop-up classrooms" every day, homemade performances from artists and an archive of performance footage from across Lincoln Center, officials said.
