theatrical

The movie’s massive popularity led to a limited theatrical run for sing-along screenings as well as live performances of its songs.

This often adds to the work’s theatrical effectiveness.

Director Nancy Medina’s staging, circumnavigating a theatrical circle, lifts the audience out of its proscenium passivity into something almost immersive and definitely interactive.

For example, when TV presenter Kate Garraway stood accused of being a potential traitor for her excessively theatrical reactions, she defended herself by explaining she was always "a ham".
