I want to watch the production on a TV. Is that possible?

The livestream can connect to third-party devices such as Apple TV’s AirPlay and Google Chromecast so that you can view the show on your TV. Simply connect to your device and click the AirPlay or Chromecast button the video player or in your browser.

You can also connect your device directly to your TV via HDMI cable.

What if I can't see the 'cast' button on the video player?

Because the livestream runs via our website (ie. rather than via a bespoke app, such as Stan, Prime Video and Binge), unfortunately it’s not possible to Chromecast from an iPad or iPhone, unless you use a specific Chromecast app.

You can still use Chromecast for the livestream, however, you just need to login to the website using a browser that supports Chromecast, such as Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. The easiest way to do this is to use a laptop or desktop computer, then log into the website via Chrome, which is the recommended browser for Chromecast.

If your computer is connected to the same wi-fi as your TV, you should then see the cast button appear on the video, and there will be no difficulty casting the video. Learn more about Google Chromecast.

Can my students watch separately?

Yes, simply forward the link and password to your students.

How do we ask questions during the Q&A?

The chat functionality will be enabled after the performance, during the Q&A between approximately 2pm - 2.30pm

Use the same password to open the chat box, enter your name and ask a question.

Your questions will be answered live in the Q&A.

Please note: we may not have time to answer all questions that are submitted.

I still have questions.
