Super entertaining look at Broadway of the 70s and 80s... its decline then Chorus Line led revival. There was maybe a little too much on the Schubert organisation for me.
Full of colourful characters, Michael Bennett leading the way. It gives Frank Rich a shellacking, which is entertaining. It maybe warps the view of Broadway by focusing on the hits - tales of a few more flops might give a more accurate figure. And jeez every hit production is full of personal narrative of triumph. I don't think Phantom of the Opera can play the underdog card.
