Verrrrrrrrrrrrrryyy interesting. This would make me subscribe to Showtime. I hope it's good!!
Although I would MUCH rather prefer a DOCUMENTARY about a Broadway show: from inception to writing process to getting producers and backers to assembling a production team to casting to rehearsals to publicity & marketing to opening. Now THAT would be something.
But this Showtime series could be equally as exciting!! The Link
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle
What I found most interesting is this is a fictionalized account of producing a real Broadway aimed show (with plans to do this for more shows in the future).
