For anyone who loves theater, this contemporary history of Broadway is pure joy. As audiences return to live theater, an all-star cast of Broadway legends tells the inside story of the last time Broadway came back from the brink. On Broadway shows how this revival helped save New York City, thanks to innovative work, new attention to inclusion and the sometimes-uneasy balance between art and commerce. On Broadway premieres Monday, August 15, 2022 at 8 p.m. on WXXI-TV, and encores on Sunday, August 21 at 2 p.m.

Join Hugh Jackman, Helen Mirren, Christine Baranski, August Wilson, James Corden, Alec Baldwin, John Lithgow, Viola Davis and Ian McKellen, as they recount how Broadway came back from the brink. Interviews with legends of the stage and screen — including Hugh Jackman, Helen Mirren, Christine Baranski, August Wilson, James Corden, Alec Baldwin, John Lithgow, Viola Davis and Ian McKellen — take viewers behind the scenes of Broadway’s most groundbreaking and beloved shows, from A Chorus Line to Hamilton.
