Shows · Ain't Broadway Grand

A backstage comedy set in the golden age of Broadway, the show follows flamboyant producer Mike Todd as he battles to mount a lavish new musical while juggling creditors, temperamental stars, and his own outsized ambitions. Based loosely on the real exploits of the legendary showman, the story captures the chaos and glamour of putting on a Broadway show in the 1940s.
