About This Movie

The Best of Broadway, hosted by Tom Bosley, is a nostalgic journey through the American musical theater landscape of the mid-80s. The vibe is laid-back yet lively, with a live audience that adds a certain energy to the performances. You get to see legends like Chita Rivera offering a fiery Spanish Rose number from 'Bye, Bye, Birdie'—just electric. Then there’s Ray Walston as the Devil in 'Damn Yankees,' bringing a playful charm that’s hard to resist. The pacing flows nicely, alternating between different styles and eras, and it really highlights the unique nuances of musical theater. It's like a time capsule, capturing both the spirit and the artistry of Broadway at a particular moment.
