A Hundred Years Of History * A Cast Of Thousands * A Hit Parade Of Songs

'There's no place in the world like Broadway - it's where the American dream is realized eight times a week ... it embodies the optimistic heartbeat of American culture' Michael Kantor, Producer, Broadway: The American Musical

Broadway: The American Musical is a landmark six-part PBS series, hosted by Tony Award-winning and Academy Award-winning actress Julie Andrews. The series brings alive the epic story of musical theatre and its inextricable link to 20th-century American life. The series features a who's who of Broadway luminaries, including Mel Brooks, Carol Channing, Betty Comden, Joel Grey, Kitty Carlisle Hart, John Lahr, Arthur Laurents, Harold Prince, Stephen Sondheim, Tommy Tune, Ben Vereen and George C. Wolfe.

The series was produced by Michael Kantor, who recently created Quincy Jones: In the Pocket for the American Masters series, and who has worked on PBS long-form series such as Ken Burns' The West and Ric Burns' New York: A Documentary Film.

Broadway: The American Musical tells two stories: the 100-year history of musical theatre, and the story of its relationship to 20th-century American life. Producer Michael Kantor's chronological approach begins with the immigrant experience at the turn of the century, when a melting pot of voices and styles gave rise to a popular new form of entertainment. The series ends with today's Broadway, where big budget new productions and revivals of classic favourites compete side by side for box office success.

Peppered throughout are legendary moments in Broadway history: George Gershwin's sojourn to Folly Island, where he began to compose his legendary score for Porgy and Bess; the thrill of Oklahoma's opening night; and comedienne Fanny Brice's heart-grabbing performance of 'My Man'. From the titillating yet artful spectacle of The Ziegfeld Follies to Ethel Merman's brassy rendition of 'I've Got Rhythm,' and from Julie Taymor's visionary staging of The Lion King to a behind-the-scenes look at Wicked's opening night, the series enlightens, educates and offers unique insight into this truly American art form.
