Though there is no substitute for the live theater, we are honored to be a part of the quality entertainment that Netflix provides its subscribers worldwide, the show's producers said in statement Wednesday. Producers have worked out safety protocols with Actors Equity Association, the labor union representing actors and stage managers.
