FILMED VERSIONS OF HIT PLAYS AND MUSICALS ARE BECOMING INCREASING POPULAR

ON STREAMING SERVICES.

While theatres remain closed, stage fans are getting their fix from the likes of Hamilton on Disney+ and a whole host of other crowdpleasing shows.

The latest to make the leap from the stage to the small screen is Marilyn & Sinatra, which reveals the little known tale of the rollercoaster relationship between those two showbiz icons.

Now playing among hundred of hours of other free entertainment on Roku channel Big Stream, this unique love story can also be watched online via bigstreamentertainment.com.

The play toured around the world, selling out in London, New York, Edinburgh and Los Angeles, and the filmed version was shot in Beverly Hills, close to the spot where Marilyn Monroe and Frank Sinatra first met in 1954.

An intimate, entertaining and poignant drama, it was written and directed by Sandro Monetti (Confessions of a Hollywood Insider) and stars Erin Gavin (Still Game, Footballer’s Wives) and Jeff Bratz (America’s Got Talent, Game of Thrones: The Musical) as the showbiz greats.

Marilyn Monroe isn’t the only blonde icon to inspire a play headed to streaming. As popularity continues to build for filmed plays, it was just announced that a show about Princess Diana, will premiere on Netflix before it opens on Broadway.
