Netflix's latest show "Stranger Things: the First Shadow", is not being streamed down fibre-optic cables to television screens but performed live on a stage in London. Other examples include Disney offering a live version of "Frozen" and Amazon launching a musical of "Transparent". The text also mentions that Hollywood's turn on the stage is part of a broader shift by the movie business towards live experiences, as attendance at the cinema declines. Film-makers are concocting novel ways to soak up demand from their fans, and this is being seen in things like restaurants, art exhibitions, escape rooms, and assault courses. The text also mentions that there is an insatiable appetite from these mega-fans who will eat up anything served to them by Hollywood.
