THE DIGITAL MULTIPLEX FOR YOUR THEATRE FAVORITES Indranil Roy | Business Connect

live performance shut down in March 2020, theatre lovers became a globally underserved fanbase and started streaming BroadwayHD shows in record numbers.

ith every passing year, the demand for streaming shows across the planet is growing ten folds as viewers cut the cord at traditional cable networks. Disney+ launched in November 2019 and already has 86 million subscribers, Netflix has more than 160 million, and Amazon Prime has 112 million subscribers. With the appetite for streaming video and subscriber numbers increasing, new streaming platforms with a myriad of contents are entering the market.

Broadway is a luxury brand recognized around the world as the pinnacle of live entertainment and BroadwayHD is the aggregator of filmed or otherwise referred to as digitally captured Broadway shows. Since the service launched in 2015, BroadwayHD’s mission is to preserve and promote the splendour of Broadway to a global audience through state-ofthe-art streaming technology. The Broadway content appeals to people from all age groups but the younger audience who were unable to afford the high priced tickets to the live performances are increasingly consuming the digital Broadway shows. The Broadway ticket buyer has no option for live shows and BroadwayHD’s extensive on-demand streaming catalogue is the perfect solution.

Analysts predict that households will have one or two of the giant streamers like Netflix or Hulu but they will also be willing to pay niche streaming services for their special interests. In the niche area of the market, the more clearly defined the content, the better the chance of survival. The niche success stories are the fanbases for sports subscribing to ESPN+, horror fans subscribing to Shudder, anime fans at Crunchyroll and theatre fans streaming at BroadwayHD. Many streaming services have seen their subscriber numbers climb during the pandemic but none as dramatically as BroadwayHD. Theatre, is an art form traditionally confined to bricks and mortar venues but when Broadway shows and

INTEGRATION OF BROADWAY AND STREAMING TECHNOLOGY

Formed with passion and tailored mechanisms, BroadwayHD is conferred as ‘The Netflix for Broadway’. It has a leading presence 10

among streaming platforms with a library featuring 300+ digital captures of premium, full-length theatrical productions. Every content on-board leverages high-end theatrical productions shot on HD and 4K cameras from multiple viewpoints. Viewers can enjoy recorded, live-streamed Broadway, West End, offBroadway and regional performances anywhere, any time.

introduced a high-performance business model that ensured a robust end-to-end OTT video solution - a rich and personalized experience on any smart device. With a steady flow of exclusive content as the base for its subscription offering, BroadwayHD has cemented its status as a genuine OTT innovator.

BroadwayHD is the cloud border of innovation for theatre as it leads the digital transformation, giving unlimited access to on-demand digital productions at a cost-effective rate. The platform integrates the desire to democratize an elite form of entertainment with an intuitive interface. BroadwayHD is available on all connected devices from mobile phones and tablets to desktops, laptops, and TVs on any digital platform (Apple TV and Google Chromecast, Roku, Amazon Prime, Firestick) for iOS and Android or via the website at www. BroadwayHD.com

The adoption of tech-advancements further paves the way for progressive customer service strategies. BroadwayHD’s audience falls into three respective categories - the Broadway ticket buyer, the theatre fan that lacks time or resources to go to the theatre, and the professionals working in the arts and culture sector. A keen eye on ticket buying patterns, fan groups on social media platforms, and continuing education with resource guides help BroadwayHD identify these segments.

ADORNED WITH EMERGING INNOVATIONS

The BroadwayHD platform implements data-driven solutions to curate sustainable customer relationships. Since its inception, BroadwayHD’s innovative functioning has been significant in empowering the theatre culture. It has promoted several underrated and obscure shows globally, enabling emerging producers and actors to earn recognition and capitalize on an additional revenue stream. The platform further provided freemonthly-subscriptions to many academics & professionals, of the theatre arena aiding their professional development.

EMPOWERING THEATRE CULTURE DIGITALLY

BroadwayHD emphasizes superior, exclusive content and an uninterrupted streaming experience as the key to customer satisfaction. The technology is supported by forward-thinking designers and marketing experts, both in-house and outsourced - and has become the cornerstone of the platform. In late 2019, BroadwayHD launched a new suite of applications and a nextgeneration Subscription Video-On-Demand (SVOD) service across multiple platforms and devices. These developments

THE VISIONARY BEHIND THE CURTAIN Bonnie Comley, the CEO, and co-founder has been the driving force at BroadwayHD. With internationally recognized theatre productions and user friendly-tech, BroadwayHD has grown into an exceedingly engaging platform. “BroadwayHD stands out clearly as the 24/7 destination for theatre fans looking to engage with an art form that they love”, declares Comley. Her passion and motivation for BroadwayHD are powered by a wide experience in the media segment. Comley is a Telly Award-winning journalist and former host for ‘NightLife TV’, airing on Travel Channel. She has produced over 40 films and 25 Broadway shows, in addition to tours and international stage productions. Comley has won three Tony Awards, an Olivier Award, and two Drama Desk Awards for her stage productions. Comley is also an active member of ‘The Broadway League’ and serves on their Audience Engagement and Education Committee.

www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 3 | Special Edition January 2021 INDIA

Comley felt that Broadway shows should reach the far corners of the world, and every theatre fan should be able to see them. This core mission paved the way for BroadwayHD. Her efforts and endeavours have helped in spreading Broadway shows across boundaries. Comley’s highly regarded reputation within the Broadway industry enabled her company to successfully negotiate agreements with all 17 unions, guilds, and associations responsible for the live streaming and capture of Broadway’s unionized shows. Comley leveraged long-standing relationships to encourage the use of new media to stream, promote and expand the outreach of live theatrical productions. Under Comley’s aegis, BroadwayHD has amassed subscribers across 124 countries and grown into a $ 300+ Million company, in a short span. This is evidence that there is a robust global market for stage-to-digital captures. Comley’s leadership further brought A ‘Guinness World Record’, for the first live stream of a Broadway show, and a Webby nomination, as well. BroadwayHD is the recipient of the Global Business Excellence Award 2020 for Outstanding Innovation and Outstanding Product/Service.

A BEACON IN THE PANDEMIC In March 2020, BroadwayHD was in its fifth year of business and one of the few fully functioning companies in the Broadway industry. When the Broadway theatres and theatres across the world shut down due to the outbreak of covid-19, BroadwayHD provided resources to allow regional theatres a distribution channel for their subscribers, creating a path for live theatre producing organizations around the country to use digital assets, previously only used for research and archival purposes, to be consumer-facing products and marketing and audience engagement assets.

The reality is that theatres and the making of the theatre will never be exactly as it was precovid but the digital transformation and the use of the recorded digital version of shows will now be incorporated into the standard operating procedure of live stage productions. The hybrid model of part live streaming and part ticket sales for the live shows will be the new business model going forward. Comley through her company, BroadwayHD, was instrumental in the evolution of the stage to digital movement and BroadwayHD’s catalogue of pre-covid 19 recordings will be the beacon on the path back to recovery.

AN EXUBERANT CULTURE The trajectory of a company is never the same – With time, it needs to adapt to changes, trends and market conditions as well. More importantly, a company needs to encompass passionate people, who can fulfil the vision and are compatible with emerging developments. BroadwayHD consists of employees who share Comley’s passion - to globalize Broadway shows. The company is filled with diverse skill sets from theatremakers to tech geeks and marketing experts, working on increasing the subscriber base. Each department is entitled with a well-defined team leader, and transparent and real-time communication, are followed to adhere to its 24/7 functioning. Comley’s understanding of a myriad business facets helps her coordinate with everyone in the company. As a female CEO, she has ensured a 50-50 gender split and promoted a diverse work culture. She is accomplished in working behind and in front of the camera and stage. She is an excellent communicator, a published author and an ardent learner as well. Suprio Guha Thakurta, a former Chief Strategy Officer at The Economist and Founder of Accelero said, “Bonnie and I attended an executive leadership program together. I was half-way through the six-month course before I discovered that she was a threetime Tony Award winner and has produced 40+ films. She never spoke of all her incredible achievements. She was more interested in soaking in the learning”.

AN INSPIRATION FOR WOMEN IN THEATRE

Comley’s hard work and dedication have made her a highly sought after producer in the theatre space and a global thought leader in the theatre to digital space. Comley was elected Vice President of The Drama League for a third term and has been serving its board, since 2009. In 2019, she was honoured with the ‘Woman of Achievement Award’ from the WP Theatre which was presented by Charlotte St.Martin, President of The Broadway League. Recently, Comley was selected as an Industry Leader in ‘Cynopsis Women in Media Class of 2020’. www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 3 | Special Edition January 2021 INDIA

Further commemorating her efforts and significance to the worldwide theatre community, The Music Theatre Program at Boston University is named after her, The Musical Theatre Society Room at Emerson College carries her name, the theatre at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell is named Comley-Lane Theatre and the Stewart F. Lane and Bonnie Comley Stage is centred in the Boston Booth Arts Complex. Comley is revered for her expertise in the theatre and television industries and frequently acts as a mentor and expert panellist. She has been a keynote speaker at BroadwayCon, C2E2 (Chicago ComicCon), SXSW, Goldman Sachs & Co., Theatre Resources Unlimited (TRU), NYC TV Week, TV of Tomorrow, Crain’s New York Arts and Culture Webcast, The Wrap and City National Bank Women Entrepreneurs. She has given masterclasses and been a guest lecturer at Columbia University, New York University, Emerson College, NYFA, Five Towns College and UMass, and many others. Comley is also a member of ‘Portfolia’ and supports the foundation’s investments towards early-stage potential companies in the US focusing on companies with colour and LGBTQ communities.

PLANS FOR THE ROAD AHEAD

Be bold be innovative “ and bring ideas that redefine

“

Comley’s philanthropic efforts have been acknowledged with numerous accolades including; The Actors Fund Medal of Honor, The Drama League Special Contribution to the Theater Award, The Paul Newman Award from Arts Horizons and The Theater Museum Distinguished Service.

In its short, yet award-winning journey, BroadwayHD has attained new heights. For the road ahead, BroadwayHD aims to continue multiplying its subscriber base. Comley’s leadership and BroadwayHD’s enormous catalogue of spectacular productions will continue to preserve the live theatre industry in the aftermath of COVID-19. For theatre enthusiasts who might not be able to enjoy a live theatre experience, BroadwayHD will remain the innovative aggregator of high quality professionally captured Broadway shows and lead the theatre industry’s digital transformation.

HEALTH

WAYS TO RELIEVE STRESS AND RELAX Mental illness and stress can have a variety of causes such as family problems, job problems, and disputes, financial difficulties, ill health, or even the demise loss of someone close to you. It is always important to identify the causes of stress and sometimes the stress is natural. One has to take some steps to deal with the root of the problem, and then only they can tackle the symptoms. Relax, take Pause and Breath. You deserve it, Relaxation is good for you, and this process takes less time than you think. You never need a luxury spa or retreat dinners for relaxing. Each of our stress-relieving tips can get you from OMG to WOW in less than 15 minutes.

Try cumulative relaxation

Try self-hypnosis, which is a very simple relaxation technique and can be done anywhere, you can do it even at your desk or in the car. Another very simple example of this technique is to focus on a specific ‘word’ or ‘phrase’ that has a positive meaning to you. Cumulative Relaxation also includes normal exercise like – Start Relaxing all the way from fingers to toes (contract and relax) and then release each muscle group in the body. Start with the lower arm, upper arm, chest, back, abdominals, and the overall body. Once the whole body is relaxed, the mind will eventually relax soon. Avoid Caffeine, Alcohol, and Tobacco. Reduce and at least avoid the intake of alcoholic as well as tobacco products, your consumption of caffeine and nicotine products can make your mind dull according to researchers. Any drinks containing caffeine and alcohol is regarded as a stress booster. Caffeine and Tobacco are stimulants and so will increase your level of stress rather than reduce it. Alcoholic drinks are regarded as a depressant when it is taken in large quantities, it proves to be more stressful. Therefore, the usage of alcoholic drinks as a way to alleviate your stress is not very helpful. Swap caffeinated and alcoholic drinks with the drinking of water, herbal teas, and diluted natural fruit juices, which keeps you hydrated and enable your body to cope better with stress. It also benefits your body’s metabolism and skin tone.

Indulge in Physical Activity

Sometimes the targeted exercise goes a long way toward freeing your body of stress hormones and increasing your endorphin levels - responsible for feelings of happiness. Carve out your time during any busy day to indulge in exercise for both purposes - keeping your body healthy and as a result, it naturally burst out your stress. However, the stress in the modern lifestyle is quite rarely remedied by anything and so physical exercise can be useful as a surrogate treatment to metabolize the excessive stress from your hormones and restore your body stress level and mind to a calmer healthy life which is, more relaxed. When you feel stressed and tense with any situation of life, go for a healthy walk in the fresh air. Try to incorporate yourself with some physical activity into your daily routine on a regular basis. You can either plan it before or after work or after lunchtime simple walk. Regular physical activity such as gyming and yoga will also improve the quality of your sleep. www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 3 | Special Edition January 2021 INDIA

Get More Sleep

Lack of proper sleep is a very significant cause of stress during your coming day or at the office and anywhere. Unfortunately, the stress also interrupts your way of proper sleep so it is contradictory to sleep and stress. As oceans of thoughts keep pondering through our heads, it stops your mind to work or interrupt your relaxing time to fall asleep. Take a bubble bath or warm bath with some reading and calming, it will help you better sleep and eliminate the stress from your body. Also take a few minutes to relax your body, try to tire your eyes and mind that help you forget about the things that worry you during the day. One should also aim to go to bed at the same specific time each day so that your mind and body get used to it and it will be your predictable bedtime routine.

Light a Candle and write your journal

The gratitude of keeping the journal best in a fancy diary and cute pens can really help you to put things in a better perspective. So pick your daily time and make your routine according to that every day, by writing down a few things that make you happy and results in stress to get out of you. To your Dear Diary, note down the date, time and place of each stressful episode as well as the happy phase.

SYNCHRONZING WITH THE LATEST Change is inevitable and it’s always wise to cope with the changes in and out of the system. If you donot then the graph of success and prosperity will show a straight line. Similarly, the industry in which Webmaddy works changes every three months, therefore they make sure that their team is upgraded with whatever is new and trendy. Om Sharma states, “I remember, Laravel, an open-source PHP web framework, was researched upon and got into use much before people actually started knowing about it.”

THE NOBLE DEEDS The entrepreneur has an empathetic heart so doing something for the sake of society gives a relief to his soul that amounts a lot. On the positive fronts, they donate a part of profits twice every year for a Cancer Treatment Rehab, which itself a noble deed. Other than this, they help startups, who are at their beginning phase, by working with them on a zero profit basis.

HARDSHIPS DEFINE SUCCESS Walking on the linear path provides no learning and adventure. Zero obstructions result in no growth or advancement. The vivacious and resilient entrepreneurOm Sharma believes that the extremeties and crosses he faced are the pillars of his success. Working for big companies and outsourcing web solutions for them at a very low rate, he embarked on his career expedition. Then a moment of epiphany created and he became aware of the reality. Consequently, he researched a lot because at that point of time he wanted to learn and grow. A few months later, an opportunity knocked the gates of Om’s fate as he was offered to work on a project for Raymond and this proved to be a turning point in entrepereneur’s career. Circumnavigating the professional realm, he interacted with new and successful people and understood how a client interacts.

Once a year, the entire team of Webmaddy goes for the Green Movement, where they plant saplings. The maestro says, “Also whenever I get free time, I ensure that I go to institutes and spread the knowledge that I have to the young minds.”

ACHIEVEMENTS TO BOAST OF The awards and rewards only donot define the progress; it’s the individual perception to evaluate and celebrate the progress even the tiniest one. Om felt privileged on being called as one of the speakers in companies like Google and many engineering colleges to speak about different technologies and ranks it as an incredible and prestigious achievement.

Om was on the excursion of Learning, Relearning and Unlearning when he got a chance to work with Coca-Cola during Durga Puja for their campaign. But, the wheels of destiny rolled in the opposite direction and worked against him when he was moving forward. This experience stimulated him to stop outsourcing once and for all and pushed him to take his own entreprenuial route. Since that day he has never looked back and progressed triumphantly with a sheer hardwork and exemplary vision.

He states, “I also believe that the way our referral system works is a great milestone for me to achieve.” They do not have any Marketing team and work is growing only through the referral of clients. The rate of client retention that they maintain is also one of the stupendous achievements. Their first client is still with them and that is something that he is quite proud of and elated about.

PEOPLE’S RETENTION IS HIGHER HERE! Om Sharma says, “Your people provide an unbreakable strength and confidence to run a vast empire or company. Without their robust support, how one can think to move ahead?”

FOR THE READERS OF BUSINESS CONNECT Business Connect inspires and helps in boosting the confidence of a lot of amateur entrepreneurs and motivates them to learn about never giving up attitude. It gives them solutions and helps them to grasp a lot about the hurdles and success story of the established entrepreneur of the coming age.

Webmaddy values its people the most and here, the retention rate is increasing with time. The people with whom the company started working with are still working; isn’t it amazing? The company doesnot support any hierarchical division rather it encourages cordial relation amongst the workforce. Om Sharma states, “I refrain from calling them as my employees rather we are a team, where each one of us is a leader. We all are almost the same age, so we are like friends.”

The visionary, with an inspiring attitude, states, “ I would like to tell everyone who is reading this that there is a huge difference between the thinkers and the executers, it’s your call whether you want to dream about things and crib about not accomplishing it or you want to go out, explore, fall down and get back up stronger. You need to start dreaming with your eyes open and leave no chance to accomplish it. You never know when fate can be a kind soul to you. NEVER STOP.”

There is a sense of ownership in them that incites them to cherish their powers that ensures that they are fulfilling their responsibilities.
