By Exciting news for movie and theater fans! Hollywood.com, a super popular movie-ticket site, is teaming up with the famous theater producer Nederlander Worldwide Entertainment. Together, they’re kicking off Hollywood.com Live, a fresh online platform for buying tickets and discovering live shows. This means we’re seeing an awesome mix of Hollywood, Broadway, London’s West End, and local theaters all in one place!
So, what is the first step for Hollywood.com Live? They’ve bought Theatrely, a cool company all about theater! Theatrely started as a college radio show and grew a lot during the pandemic. Now, it’s a go-to place for younger fans wanting the latest on Broadway, West End, and local shows, especially on social media.
Now, with Theatrely on board, Hollywood.com Live is selling tickets online for shows all over the place! Hollywood.com has been around for more than 25 years, bringing tons of entertainment content and drawing in loads of users. Now, they are using that experience to sell even more tickets to live shows, making Theatrely a bigger name and directing more people its way.
Who’s behind all this? The team leading Hollywood.com Live includes Mitchell Rubenstein, Laurie Silvers, and Robert Nederlander, Jr. Silvers and Rubenstein, who started Broadway.com, Syfy Channel, and MovieTickets.com, are joining forces with Nederlander, the big boss of Nederlander Worldwide Entertainment. His company is famous for managing theaters all over the world, putting on loads of Broadway shows, and doing cool cultural and educational stuff.
Everyone’s super excited about this! It’s a chance to bring theater to even more people. The folks at Theatrely can not wait to reach more audiences through this partnership.
The cost of buying Theatrely is being kept under wraps. And hey, this isn’t the first time Hollywood.com has expanded – they recently bought Dance Media, a big name in dance publishing!
