AMT Theater Film Festival: Broadway Legends on the Big Screen will present two documentaries celebrating Broadway next month.
Broadway: The Golden Age, released in 2003, will be screened at the Off-Broadway venue August 23 at 6 PM ET. Rick McKay’s acclaimed documentary features rare interviews with Julie Andrews, Carol Channing, Angela Lansbury, Elaine Stritch, Stephen Sondheim, Hal Prince, Gwen Verdon, Jerry Orbach,
and dozens more. Their personal stories, humor, and behind-the-scenes
memories capture the magic of Broadway.
Broadway Musicals: A Jewish Legacy, released in 2013, will be screened August 30 at 6 PM ET. The documentary traces how generations of Jewish composers, lyricists,
playwrights, and producers helped create the American musical. The film includes insights from Sondheim, Sheldon Harnick, John Kander, Jerry Herman, Arthur Laurents, Charles Strouse, and Harold Prince.
Following both screenings, audiences are invited to stay for a Q&A with producer Al Tapper and a celebrity guest. The events will be moderated by Broadway historian Robert W. Schneider.
The screenings are presented in conjunction with the premiere of producer Tapper’s new musical, After All These Years: The Musicals of Al Tapper, which will play the AMT beginning September 9.
