On Broadway

An all-star cast tells the inside story of the Broadway theater and New York City, and how they came back from the brink -- thanks to innovation, inclusion and a sometimes uneasy balance between art and commerce. Helen Mirren, Hugh Jackman, Christine Baranski, August Wilson, James Corden, Alec Baldwin, John Lithgow, Viola Davis, and Ian McKellen take us behind the scenes of Broadway’s most groundbreaking shows, from A Chorus Line to Harry Potter. The film also includes performances by Lin Manuel Miranda, Patti Lupone, Bernadette Peters, James Earl Jones and Mandy Patinkin. This 85-minute documentary is a hurly burly ride through Times Square, once again the main street of American show business.
