Musicals you can watch right now

A stage musical is the one art form that mostly refuses to be recorded — and yet the producers themselves put whole numbers on YouTube, and the labels put the cast albums up beside them. 4 of them play on this page, in their owners' own player, checked 29 August 2026.

Chicago The Musical

Kander and Ebb's 1975 vaudeville about murder as a career move, and the longest-running American musical on Broadway.

All That Jazz — official video

The opening number, and the production's own film of it. Velma sings the audience into a nightclub while a murder happens behind her.

What is here and what is not

Here: numbers a production or a broadcaster published on its own channel, and cast recordings on the rights holders' channels. Each one is checked with YouTube before it goes up — where an uploader does not allow their video to play on other sites, it does not appear.

Not here: full stage performances filmed from a seat and uploaded by someone who did not make them. The reason is practical before it is principled — they get taken down, and a page of dead frames is worse than a shorter page.

None of it is a substitute for the room. It is a good way to find out whether you want the room.
