BroadwayHD has imported big-name musicals from major studios before. In 2023, the service brought on a selection of titles from NBCUniversal. BroadwayHD is always on the lookout for new content to offer its subscribers, and the importation of movies from Disney is just the latest example.
You can subscribe to BroadwayHD as a standalone service for $20 per month, but The Streamable recommends adding it as a channel on Prime Video instead. That costs just $9 per month, on top of the $9 you’ll have to lay out for your Prime Video account.
