ShowBusiness: The Road to Broadway Recent Fan Reviews

  • Must Go!

    A MUST-SEE FILM!

    I was lucky enough to catch an advance screening of this film and I loved it! You don't have to be a diehard Broadway fan to enjoy this film, but if you've ever thought about being on stage, took a drama class, got a role in a school play or just wondered what it was really like behind the scenes at a Broadway show, then this movie is a must-see! Director Dori Berinstein, with apparently unlimuted access behind the scenes, gives a fascinating look at the world behind the Broadway curtain and the monumental effort that is required to put on a Broadway show (and keep it from closing a week later, at that). Can't wait to see it again in theaters!

    I'm not a theater person. I LOVED this film. What a crazy world. I got caught up in the adventure... I really cared about the characters and what happened to them. It plays like a feature. Strongest recommendation possible.
