"Hosted by Academy Award-winning star of stage, film and television, Julie Andrews. Broadway tells two stories: the 100-year history of musical theater, and the story of its relationship to 20th-century American life, from the immigrant experience at the turn of the century to today's Broadway, where big budget new productions and revivals of classic favorites compete for box office success."
