stage productions

Live theatrical presentations

Stage productions are live theatrical performances presented before an audience—plays, musicals, operas, ballets, and similar works performed on a stage.

The term emphasizes the full mounted production rather than just the script or score: The stage production of Les Misérables ran for years on Broadway.

It often distinguishes live theater from film or television adaptations of the same work.
