BROADWAY: THE GOLDEN AGE

July 17, 2013

SYNOPSIS: The most important, ambitious and comprehensive film ever made about America’s most celebrated indigenous art form. It is award-winning filmmaker Rick McKay’s journey over 4 continents and 5 years to find out whether there had been a golden age of theatre and why it had never been documented. He soon learned that great films can be restored, fine literature can be kept in print – but historic Broadway performances of the past are the most endangered. They leave only memories that, while more vivid, are more difficult to preserve. In their own words – and not a moment too soon – “Broadway” tells the stories of our theatrical legends, how they came to New York, and how they created this legendary century in American theatre.
