    5.0 out of 5 stars Two Actors Who LOVE Broadway: The Golden Age!
    Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2004
    Verified Purchase
    My wife and I saw "Broadway: The Golden Age" for the second time last night. It was at Robert DeNiro's Tribeca Theatre Festival and we applaud him for celebrating this film and Rick McKay! Wy wife is a musical theatre performer and I am an actor. We moved to NYC a year ago and have beeen out there auditioning. Our families think we are crazy and we now know what to get everyone in our family for Christmas to help them understand how great theatre can be - and how great a movie can be!

    The movie theater was sold out and people were going crazy for the film. We didn't realize that the director Rick McKay was introducing the film, which was a great bonus. He also showed about 20 minutes of the footage from the sequel, "Broadway: The Next Generation," which was right up our alley. I actually cried hearing Cady Huffman talk about Bob Fosse in that preivew. I gather that we are the first audience to ever see this footage and that there is even more on the DVD. Wow!

    Another great surprise was that Ben Gazzara was there and he and Rick McKay did a talk back with the audience after. Rick McKay rules as an interviewer. Ben Gazzara totally opened up with him and McKay got great stories out of him. Then they signed books and stuff in the bar after. Amazing night.

    But, this film is even better the second time. I can't wait to own it. It is just full of details and treats and fascinating rare footage. Ben Gazzara almost cried talking after about the footage in the film McKay found of Laurette Taylor. And seeing Gwen Verdon's last interview with this lost footage restored of her and Bob Fosse working together is so moving. The audience cheered at the high note John Raitt sang (Bonnie Raitt's dad!) and the rare footage of NYC and the stories of the passion of all these stars to just work on the stage. I enjoyed the PBS TV show last week, but they are so different. I think that tv show would be a good thing for my little brother back home to see in school. it is very useful. But, no one could understand the passion that makes great art seeing that one. This movie is just stunning. My wife and I talked aobut it all last night. And again today as we came on line to buy DVD's of it for Christmas. It is a true gift in more ways than one. Thank you for making it and keep them coming!

    5.0 out of 5 stars THE LAST WORD ON BROADWAY. PERIOD.
    Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2004
    Verified Purchase
    This film is absolutely wonderful. I first saw it in a theater and was stunned by the effect it had on me and the audience around me. I don't know when, if ever, I have experience an audience cheering spontaneously throughout a movie. And this was the middle of the afternoon on a weekday. At the end the audience stood and applauded. But, the DVD is even better. The archival footage looks beautiful on the DVD. Wonderful to see Angela Lansbury in "Mame," Kim Stanley and Elaine Stritch in "Bus Stop," Ben Gazzara in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," John Raitt in "Carousel" and the impossible footage of Laurette Taylor coming to life on camera. The footage of Times Square in color in the 40's was staggering. This is truly the closest one could get to get to getting in a time machine and going to the theatre 50 years ago.

    I am not sure what I liked more: the amazing performance footage, the film of NYC back in time, or the interviews. To see & hear Shirley MacLaine, Jerry Orbach, Carol Channing, Julie Harris, Charles Nelson Reilly, Carol Burnett, Kaye Ballard, Bea Arthur, Stephen Sondheim, Jerry Herman, Fred Ebb, Jeremy Irons, Alec Baldwin and I can't even tell you how many more telling these heart-felt stories is just moving beyond imagination. I felt like I was able to sit right with these people and have them tell me what it was like to be there.

    I also saw the PBS series "Broadway: The American Musical" and was a bit disappointed. BUT, that may not be their fault. Perhaps it is because I saw this film first and it is not fair to hold PBS up to comparison. The PBS series is very "officious" and "correct" and feels a bit like a lecture. And that may be just what some people want in a documentary. But, I will take an opportunity to sit with 100 great stars who tell me how it really was and the chance to see them all finishing each others sentences, laughing and crying and remembering a time that is sadly only a memory. And showing me the actual perfomances to boot.

    Oscar-winning director Peter Jackson says on camera on the DVD that it is so important that one filmmaker (Rick Mckay) did this amazing film on his own and preserved it all before it was gone. I can see why the man who created the Lord of the Rings trilogy was so impressed! And why the film has won like 15 Best Film Award. Don't miss it. Period.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I was born in the wrong time!
    Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2004
    Verified Purchase
    I am a total "Wicked" junkie and thought the sun rose and set on Idina Menzel but I am now thinking I was born in the WRONG AGE! My parents took me to this film and I was totally against seeing it as I thought it was too corny for words but now I just SO INSPIRED. Part of me was way depressed after as I thought I had missed the greatest time in history, but now I am inspired to learn all I can. Elaine Stitch?! Ohmygod! How cool is SHE? I have now seen "At Liberty" (same director, Rick McKay?) like three times, too.

    I have never sat on the edge of my seat for two hours like this. At the end I was crying my eyes out and then the AMAZING credits started with people singing and I found myself laughing with tears running down at the same time. These STARS are unbelievable.

    This movie also makes me mad. Mad that it costs like $70 for cheap seats and $100 for top seats for "Wicked" or "Hairspray" and this movies talks about how 50 years ago cheap seats in the broadway theater were cheaper than going to the movies. How did THAT happen? I mean it is sinful.

    What was totally cool is that everybody -- and I mean strangers -- were talking to each other in the lobby of the theater after. It was like we had all seen something magical. I had no idea until I read this other review (sour grapes, me thinks) that the director was singing the title song. I don't know how we would know, But, I am now even MORE impressed! I mean the singing was great. But, I didn't pay that much attention to it. But, I DID pay enough attention to the fact that he was a one-man-movie studio and made the whole movie himself. And he sang the title song too?! Whoa! You GO dude!

    Only one request: PLEASE put IDINA MENZEL in the sequel! THANX!!!!

    This is the most enjoyable work of art I have enjoyed for many years, a great addition to my collection. It would be greatly appriciated I feel by adding Region 2 for so many lovers of the Broadway productions and its stars in Britain. So many memories plus sadness that so many of the stars have left us, they will live on with us and what pleasure at the press of a button. Many thanks to all concered with making this movie.

    This is a great retrospective on Broadway's historic era, as told by 100 (or more) of the legendary performers and participants, who were still alive (and coherent enough) to share many fascinating stories, in this 2004 documentary. (Many have since passed on, so kudos to filmmaker Rick McKay for capturing what he did, when he did.) Additionally, there is some fabulous bonus material on the dvd including commentary, and approx. 1hr. 25min. of extra interviews, an alternate ending, premiere footage, and a sneak peek into the next generation. Since many fantastic Broadway names have contributed, fans of the New York theater will love this memorable tribute.
