In 1970, legendary documentary filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker followed the cast and creative team of the Broadway musical, "Company," as they spent an 18+ hour day producing their original cast recording. The documentary was meant to be part of a TV series on the making of Broadway cast recordings, but this one-hour special ended up being the only one created.

This film from acclaimed theater director Lonny Price charts the journey of the original cast of Stephen Sondheim's "Merrily We Roll Along" in the 30-plus years since the musical debuted on Broadway at the Alvin Theatre in 1981.

Broadway Musicals: A Jewish Legacy examines the unique role of Jewish composers and lyricists in the creation of the modern American musical. The film showcases the work of legends such as Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, George and Ira Gershwin, Lorenz Hart, Richard Rodgers, Oscar Hammerstein II, Leonard Bernstein, and Stephen Sondheim. (imdb)
