Synopsis

Over the course of one Broadway musical season (2003-2004), SHOW BUSINESS: THE ROAD TO BROADWAY follows the four high-profile productions that would eventually become Tony nominees for Best Musical: a big-noise musical named "Wicked," the Rosie O'Donnell/Boy George collaboration, "Taboo," the much-anticipated Tony Kushner musical, "Caroline, or Change," and an irreverent puppet show named "Avenue Q."

SHOW BUSINESS: THE ROAD TO BROADWAY provides a unique perspective on the inner workings of Broadway musicals. Allowed unprecedented backstage access, director Dori Berinstein films rehearsals, backstage highs and lows, and sheds some light on the mysterious and wondrous creative process.
