For anyone who loves theater, this contemporary history of Broadway is a joy, packed with legendary stars and performances. An all-star cast tells the inside story of Broadway theater and how it came back from the brink thanks to innovative work, a new attention to inclusion and a sometimes uneasy balance between art and commerce. Key players — August Wilson, Hal Prince, Alec Baldwin, James Corden, John Lithgow, Christine Baranski and Ian McKellen — take us behind the scenes of Broadway’s most groundbreaking shows, such as A Chorus Line, Cabaret, Annie, Chicago, The Phantom of the Opera, The Lion King and Hamilton, among many others.
Following the stream, John Kenrick will give us an insider's look at the way musicals are put together. John Kenrick combines a passion for entertainment history with the practical know-how earned while working on stage productions at every level from amateur to Broadway. He has taught at New York University's Steinhardt School, The New School University, and The Philadelphia University of the Arts. John has appeared on A&E's Biography, BBC TV and Radio, The Travel Channel, National Public Radio, among others.
