Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
On Broadway from director Oren Jacoby is a behind-the-scenes look at many of the most iconic Broadway productions, guided by a number of the top stars of the stage. It traces the stories of these groundbreaking productions, as well as how close Broadway came to shutting down when attendance declined in the 1970s. The film includes performances from James Earl Jones, Patti Lupone, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Mandy Patinkin, and Bernadette Peters. Commentary provided by Alec Baldwin, Christine Baranski, James Corden, Viola Davis, Hugh Jackman, John Lithgow, Helen Mirren, Ian McKellen, and August Wilson. ~ Steven Yoder, Rovi

As live performances on Broadway start up again after an unprecedented absence of eighteen months, an all-star cast tells the inside story of the last time Broadway theater came back from the brink. On Broadway shows how this revival helped save New York City, thanks to innovative work, new attention to inclusion, and the sometimes uneasy balance between art and commerce. Legends of the stage and screen, including Hugh Jackman, Helen Mirren, Christine Baranski, August Wilson, James Corden, Alec Baldwin, John Lithgow, Viola Davis, and Ian McKellen, take us behind the scenes of Broadway₂s most groundbreaking and beloved shows, from A Chorus Line to Hamilton. Archival clips of iconic performances by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Patti Lupone, Bernadette Peters, James Earl Jones, and Mandy Patinkin lead the way in a hurly-burly ride through the main street of American show business.
