The Society of London Theatre, which runs Official London Theatre, continues to campaign on behalf of the sector to enable venues to reopen safely, so that they can play their part fully in the national economic recovery, but says that its 'collaboration with Sky VIP allows us to continue to create unique content for our audiences, as well as providing paid work for casts while their shows remain sadly closed.'

The eight videos will be available for Sky VIPs via the My Sky app throughout August and September before being hosted on the Official London Theatre YouTube Channel.

The first episode features The Prince Of Egypt, and went live on Sky VIP on Friday 7 August.

The full production timetable is as follows:

 
Show Live on Sky VIP Live on OLT
The Prince Of Egypt 7 August 4 September
Wicked 14 August 11 September
Disney's The Lion King 21 August 18 September
