ShowBusiness: The Road to Broa...

Alan Cumming, Boy George, Rosie O'Donnell, Idina Menzel, Kristin Chenoweth

"Show Business" documents four original Broadway musicals from a backstage perspective: "Wicked," the retelling of "The Wizard of Oz" from the witches' perspective; "Avenue Q," in which puppets give l...( read more  read more... )ife lessons intended for adults; "Taboo," the glamorous saga of Boy George's musical career; and Tony Kushner's highly personal story about a black maid working for a Jewish family in the south, called "Caroline, or Change." Berinstein seems to have unlimited access to the actors, rehearsals and final productions. She captures the dreams of the dream makers from inception, all the way up to the crowning glory of the Tony Awards. With a sure hand, she conveys both the creative and technical challenges of preparing a production for the towering inferno known as Broadway. As we follow each of these shows from inspiration to opening night, the truth of the notion that theater rests on the passion of its practitioners is borne out.

    Cool doc about the life of a Broadway show from conception and writing to opening to awards season. Follows four shows that premiered in 2003 with varying success. Having only seen one of actual shows myself, the coverage of the other three were slightly less interesting, but ove...( read more)rall a fascinating look into a world I thought I knew a lot about.
