Sony to Bring 'Live' Broadway Shows and Sports to Movie Theaters in HD

Rent with Joey Fatone
If you're a sports, music, or Broadway fan but live in the sticks, then listen up: Sony is about to bring live performances to digital theaters with its new Hot Ticket program. Sony will broadcast Broadway shows, concerts, and sports events to around 500 digital theaters, live and in HD digital projection for about $20 a seat.

Following in the footsteps of wildly successful HD-simulcast-to-movie-theaters by the Metropolitan Opera, the Sony venture will launch in August with Cirque du Soleil's final performance of 'Delirium' from London. Also, for the two of you who haven't seen it yet, Rent's final Broadway performance will be shown in September. We have to admit, though, this could create some fun SuperBowl parties with rival factions on either side of the aisle, Congress style. [Source: USA Today/Reuters]
