On a September evening last fall, at New York’s venerable Carnegie Hall, a star-studded audience was treated to a concert of Broadway showstoppers performed by the greatest divas of the American theatre.

Featuring selections from Chicago, A Chorus Line, Showboat, Guys and Dolls, Ain’t Misbehavin’, Dreamgirls, Company, Gypsy, Man of La Mancha, On the Town and others, this evening of song and celebrity will live forever, preserved on home video for any time you feel like bringing up the curtain!
