Where to watch Vanya on 42nd Street (1994) tonight

Vanya on 42nd Street (1994) runs 2 h, is rated PG in the US and averages 6.7 from 101 TMDB members. An uninterrupted rehearsal of Chekhov's 'Uncle Vanya' plays out by a company of actors. The setting: their run-down theater with an unusable stage and crumbling ceiling. The play is shown act by act with the briefest of breaks to move props or for refreshments. The lack of costumes, real props and scenery is soon forgotten.
