Virtual performances go beyond music and comedy to cover the rest of live art: plays and readings, dance pieces, magic and mentalism shows, puppetry, cabaret, circus acts and variety nights. Some are traditional stage shows streamed for remote audiences; others are made specifically for the screen, using close-up camera work or interactive elements that would not work in a theater.
Interactive formats are a growing part of this category: online murder mysteries, audience-choice plays, close-up magic where the performer works with individual attendees on camera, and immersive shows where the audience shapes what happens. These often have small capacities so everyone can take part.
Read the listing to see whether you will simply watch or be invited to participate, and whether you need your camera and microphone on. Check content guidance, run time and the time zone, and ask the organizer about replays, which are only available if they offer them.
Choosing a virtual performance
- Check whether the show is watch-only or interactive, and whether you will need your camera on.
- Look at the run time and whether there is an interval.
- Read any content or age guidance, especially for theater and immersive shows.
- For close-up magic or small interactive shows, register early since capacity is usually small.
- Test the organizer's meeting or streaming tool on your device before the show starts.
Questions about virtual performances
What is an interactive virtual performance?
A show where the audience takes part — making choices, solving clues or joining the performer on camera — rather than only watching. The listing should explain what is expected.
Do I need special software to watch?
You need whatever streaming or meeting tool the organizer uses. The link is sent to registered attendees; open it early to check it works on your device.
Can my family watch together on one registration?
Ask the organizer, since policies differ. For interactive shows with small capacities, each participant may need to register.
