Musical theatre students in Guildford, England, have been slipping into little-charted territory in recent weeks by bringing Chaplin — a once-Broadway-bound musical — to life.

Today's birthdays include Andrea Martin, Jerry Mitchell, and Molière.

From The SpongeBob Musical to Nick Kroll and John Mulaney’s Oh, Hello, from Lincoln Center Theater’s The King & I revival to Audra McDonald in Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill, here are 26 more captures of live performance to watch from home.

Our senior correspondent's favorite novel is "The Great Gatsby," so we sent him to soak up Elevator Repair Service's almost seven-hour word-for-word adaptation, Gatz. Did he return fresh as a Daisy?

KAREN MASON
It certainly seems like it’s going to be Karen Mason’s year. After receiving wonderful notices for her comedic turn in what promises to be this year’s biggest hit, Mamma Mia, Mason is set to release her latest CD, “When the Sun Comes Out” on Jerome Records (in association with Zevely Records). The former standby to the stars in Sunset Boulevard has recorded many of the songs that were a part of her recent, wonderful cabaret act at Arci’s Place in New York City, and like her live show, the CD is a pure joy. What has always made Mason such a great cabaret performer (besides the voice) is her innate comedic ability: She is able to inject a note of comedic irony while singing a dramatic piece, and, conversely, she can make an otherwise lighthearted song have a weightier emotional impact.

BETTY BUCKLEY
Betty Buckley fans will be thrilled with the just-released cast recording of Triumph of Love, the Susan Birkenhead/Jeffrey Stock/James Magruder musical loosely based on the Marivaux play. Buckley sounds terrific on the CD, whether she's belting the opening lines of "This Day of Days," tenderly caressing the notes in the quartet of "Teach Me Not to Love You" or bringing an emotional intensity to her duets with Susan Egan ("You May Call Me Phocion") and F. Murray Abraham ("The Tree"). And, her two solo pieces, "Serenity" and "If I Cannot Love," are masterfully crafted and delivered. Just listen to the way she builds "Serenity" from a quiet remembrance of her youth to a full-voiced declaration of love's surprise arrival. She is also equally effective on "If I Cannot Love," which was unfortunately cut during previews but is thankfully preserved on this JAY Records release.
