Mister Abbott's Broadway (1994x2)

Exibido em:: Mar 01, 1994

Liza Minnelli refers to him most respectfully as Mr Abbott. Others call him the master stager of musicals and the apprentice's sorcerer. Since turning to musicals in the mid-30s, George Abbott has produced a stream of famous Broadway shows - including Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, On the Town, The Pajama Game and Pal Joey. And he has championed a succession of unknown writers and directors who have since become famous themselves - Leonard Bernstein, Sammy Cahn, Stephen Sondheim, Bob Fosse and Hal Prince all got an early break with him. Now aged 106, the legendary Mr Abbott is about to revive his hit Damn Yankees on Broadway. Omnibus talks to him and his many co-stars about his glittering career. Producer: Ken Howard A Landseer production
