Over the course of one Broadway musical season (2003-2004),
"ShowBusiness" 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."
From casting to staging, from previews to red-carpeted opening nights,
from the announcement of Tony nominations to the suspense-filled Tony
Awards, "ShowBusiness" provides a never-before-seen look at the inner
workings of Broadway musicals. Allowed unprecedented backstage access,
director Dori Berinstein casts a camera's eye on rehearsals, backstage
highs and lows, and the mysterious and wondrous creative process.
Featuring a star-studded array of Broadway icons as well as
ambitious new faces, "ShowBusiness" proves that 2003-2004 was truly a
season to remember
