Broadway: Beyond The Golden Age - 2021 - 7/10
Love letter to Broadway, circa 1959-1983.
Performers, producers, dancers, creators.
Recollections of backstage, big career breaks, camaraderie.
Numerous clips of old shows, including, though not limited to, “Love On A Mattress,” “Barefoot In The Park,” “Pippin,” “A Chorus Line.”
The latter show concludes the documentary and runs 10”. (Marvin Hamlish never mentioned, by the way.)
1983 is when AIDS begins to have a devastating impact on the community.
Feel good documentary, to be sure, but should be essential to theatre junkies.
