With in-person theatre out of commission for the foreseeable future, many Broadway performers are sharing their talents online. Below are performances and one class featuring stage stars that you can watch today, Wednesday, March 25, from the comfort of your couch for free.

At 1 p.m. EST, the new live-streamed series R&H Goes Live! kicks off with host Laura Osnes and guest Jeremy Jordan, who know each other well from starring together in Broadway's Bonnie and Clyde. Jordan will croon an acoustic version of "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'" from Oklahoma! and then answer questions from Osnes and the audience. Tune in on the Rodgers and Hammerstein YouTube channel.

At 2 p.m. EST, comic genius Tina Fey and her composer husband Jeff Richmond, who both earned Tony nominations for their work on Mean Girls, drop by Seth Rudetsky and James Wesley's Stars in the House. This twice daily series supports The Actors Fund, and you can watch on the organization's YouTube channel.

At 3 p.m. EST, legendary jazz pianist and singer Billy Stritch and his Tony-winning BFF/neighbor Linda Lavin will perform a live concert online. Last Wednesday's set lasted 40 minutes, and their friendship, banter and American Songbook standards feel incredibly soothing in this uncertain time. Watch on Billy Stritch's Facebook page.

At 4 p.m. EST, two-time Tony nominee and Fame star Debbie Allen is teaching a free virtual salsa class. So put on your heels and get ready to sweat by tuning into Debbie Allen's Instagram Live via the mobile Instagram app.
