"alternate programming" what have you seen?
 

with the advent of opera, classic movies, rifftrax, sports, musicals becoming a viable option for movie theaters, I'm curious: what have y'all seen?

I've seen:

- Rent: Filmed Live from Broadway (Sony Hot Tix)
- Coachella Festival
- Phantom of the Opera: Live from Royal Albert Hall
- Cirque du Soleil: Delirium (Sony Hot Tix)
- Electric Daisy Carnival Experience
- Stephen Sondheim's Company

Just Rifftrax Live.

All of the live Rifftrax shows.

I wish more people came to them! There's no reason a theatre should run the exact same things every day, not with today's technology.

I don't get to attend very often, but I was very happy to see some of Don Pasquale (mainly for Anna Netrebko on a big screen).

Re: "alternate programming" what have you seen?
 

I saw 'Company' twice and it seemed like it was hit, a lot of patrons glad and appreciative to see this on the big screen. Maybe more Sondheim would be the key to get more people on movie theater's off-nights.

"Company" had the benefit of stars and a live performance. Most of the live broadcasts do nothing - the same five old people for the Operas. For some reason, however, everyone gets the Opera while very few theatres got "Company".

Mainly whenever Fathom shows live boxing/mma fights, to avoid the crazy ppv charges

Re: "alternate programming" what have you seen?
 

of the one opera I wanted to see - the theater I had tried to get tix to had sold out weeks before hand - apparently Washingtonians attend in droves and sell out the theaters the Met Operas play at.

Re: "alternate programming" what have you seen?
 

I saw Rent and the Coachella documentary as mentioned in the OP.

I wish I could've seen Company. :(

Re: "alternate programming" what have you seen?
 

Cirque du Soleil: KA, wonderful show.

Re: "alternate programming" what have you seen?
 

I want to put a bullet in my head every time I see those ads for Rent or some random opera. Cirque looks interesting, but that's the kind of thing I'd only want to watch live.

Re: "alternate programming" what have you seen?
 

I've only gone to the Rifftrax shows.

Re: "alternate programming" what have you seen?
 

Cirque is definantly better live, but with tix at least 50 bucks this is the second best thing - and being a Sony Hot Ticket screening and not a Fanthom event - the hidef imagery looked fantastic.

Re: "alternate programming" what have you seen?
 

Will probably go see Rush: Time Machine.

A couple Rifftrax showings and classic films via Fathom is all.
