television, live theatre exists only in the memories of those who were there watching, or more importantly, creating this
magic. 'Broadway' tells the stories of these legendary performers, composers and writers while illustrating their tales
with amazing, rare, archival performance footage and these legends' own home movies and photos. Tim will sing a
couple of his favorite broadway songs.....
