This Christmas, the world of theatre is full of exciting new productions to stream from the comfort of your own home. One standout title is "The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry," a musical adaptation of Rachel Joyce's bestselling novel.
Folk singer-songwriter Passenger, whose music was featured in the 2023 film, lends his voice and talent to this production, now available on streaming platforms. The show's score, which includes a few tracks that didn't make it into the original film, is showcased on Passenger's album "One for the Road." A talented cast, including Jack Wolfe as the Balladeer, brings Joyce's poignant story to life.
Another treat in store this Christmas is ZooNation's hip-hop take on Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" at Sadler's Wells. With Ebony Scrooge leading the charge, this production promises to be a thrilling holiday spectacle.
For those who have always been fascinated by the world of ballet, Cédric Klapisch's 2010 documentary "Aurélie Dupont: Instants of Grace" is now available on MarqueeTV. This film profiles the renowned ballerina and director Aurélie Dupont, whose mentorship helped launch Marion Barbeau's successful dance career.
In other streaming news, National Theatre at Home will be hosting a special subtitled screening of Shaan Sahota's 2025 drama "The Estate," with live captioning and audio description options available. This powerful production stars Adeel Akhtar and marks an important milestone in the charity Stagetext's mission to make theatre more accessible.
Art Flicks is another exciting new series to get you through the holiday season, featuring short digital dramas told in 90-second bursts on TikTok. This collaboration between Pentabus and Rural Media brings together talented young writers from around the UK for this innovative production.
Lastly, a high school musical adaptation of Jodi Picoult's YA novel "Between the Lines" is now available on BroadwayHD. Blending the challenges of adolescence with a fantastical adventure based on the heroine's favorite book, this show promises to be an unforgettable holiday treat.
And for those interested in dance history, Arte.tv has released a captivating performance tribute to the flamenco dancer Carmen Amaya in "Fugaces." Filmed at the Lyon Dance Biennale earlier this year, this stunning production is not to be missed.

! like who doesn't love getting cozy with a good show during the holidays? and can we talk about Passenger's voice in "The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry"?? his music is giving me all the feels 
. and i've been eyeing that A Christmas Carol production by ZooNation - ebony scrooge leading the charge? yes please! 
she's like a real-life ballerina superhero! and now i'm obsessed with marion barbeau's dance career - we need more women in the arts, you know? also, have u seen that new musical adaptation of "between the lines" on broadwayhd? it's so cute & relatable 
, and who wouldn't want to see Passenger perform his music live? 
Also, I'm intrigued by the hip-hop take on "A Christmas Carol"... will it be a game-changer for the classic tale? 
I'm so done with these musical adaptations being called "standout titles" lol what's next? are we gonna start calling every old novel a bestseller just because it got adapted into a musical? 
and can we please talk about how much I love Passenger's music? his voice is like butter for my ears. but anyway, back to the theatre stuff... has anyone seen "Aurélie Dupont: Instants of Grace" yet? I've been meaning to watch it for ages and now that it's available on MarqueeTV I'm totally binging it. 
. And can't wait to see ZooNation's take on "A Christmas Carol", all that hip-hop energy would make for an epic show 
. Also, got my eyes on "Between the Lines" musical adaptation, YA novel turned high school musical, sounds like a blast 
.
I gotta say, it's a real debate whether these productions are doing enough to make theatre accessible for everyone. Like, have you seen "The Estate" on National Theatre at Home? It's available with live captioning and audio description options, which is awesome, but what about people who can't watch it because of their device not having those features built-in? 
It's a great way to showcase new talent and keep the spirit of theatre alive. But let's not forget about the bigger picture here - what does this say about our society when we're still debating the accessibility of something as fundamental as theatre?
