SUMMARY:WPL Film Club @ the AIC
DESCRIPTION:ON BROADWAY  2019  82 minutes \nReleased just before the pandemic shut public venues down for over a year\, this buoyant documentary by Oren Jacoby offers an overview of Broadway from its nadir in the late 60s to the present. With interviews from a range of luminaries such as Alec Baldwin\, August Wilson\, Helen Mirren\, Christine Baranski\, and Tommy Tune\, the film makes a point to show how art and commerce went hand in hand as various shows revived the theatre experience while larger trends co-opted the culture––as seen in the parallel fortunes of Times Square\, which went from a red-light district to a tourist magnet. \nBE ADVISED: This film depicts New York in all its glamour and grit\, involving urban violence\, profanity\, sexuality\, corporate and municipal avarice––as well as some singing and dancing.
