Broadway Worldwide records Broadway musicals, live-in-performance, on the broadway stage during a show’s New York run, in front of paying audiences. Prior to recording, Broadway Worldwide’s team works with the Broadway artists who created the stage show to determine and implement the optimal approach to depict the material. Performances are recorded using ten to twelve hand-held, stationery and robotic cameras and as many as 70 microphones positioned throughout the theatre. High-definition video and 5.1 surround sound audio equipment is used to capture the productions.
Broadway Worldwide’s first foray into recording Broadway shows occurred with the performance of Smokey Joe’s Cafe: The Songs of Leiber and Stoller, the longest-running musical revue in Broadway history. Broadway Worldwide utilized 11 high-definition cameras strategically positioned onstage, backstage and around the theatre, and 40 microphones to capture the performance. The show was directed for Broadway Worldwide by Emmy winner Don Roy King.
Smokey Joe’s Cafe features the original Tony Award-nominated cast performing 40 songs by the songwriting team Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. The songs performed include: "Jailhouse Rock", "Hound Dog", "Treat Me Nice", "Stand By Me", "Spanish Harlem", and "On Broadway". Smokey Joe’s Cafe received a Grammy Award, as well as seven Tony Award nominations including one for Best Musical.
