Customer Rating:
Review Summary: Good Insight into behind-the-scenes Broadway
Review: This movie is excellent, especially if you have seen or plan to see the traveling shows Wicked and Avenue Q. Boy George also has some very rational and interesting comments about the untimely closing of his show. Makes you love the characters and appreciate the work and luck that goes into trying to make it big in show business.

Review Summary: A Must See for Theater Fans
Review: I first saw this documentary at a small theater in downtown Chicago... as a musical theater fan, I loved every minute of it.
I was most impressed because it doesn't matter if you remembered that 2003-2004 season, and it doesn't even matter if you cared for any of those 4 shows... the entire adventure from the initial creation of a Broadway show, through the ups and downs, to the Tony Awards and the aftermath... it never got boring, that's what made this documentary better than others I've seen in the past. I don't think many people realize what it takes to put on a Broadway show... people that work in the theater don't always get the recognition/respect they deserve... This documentary did a fine job revealing their hard work, effort, and passion. =)
It was also interesting to see and hear from the critics... yep, the critics we all either love or hate. haha.

Review Summary: AWESOME DVD
Review: I got this DVD for a friend who is NUTS about theatre. I am too, but she's actually wanting, trying and probably going to succeed getting into the business. I figured this was a must have for a eighteen-year old girl who is still excited and going full steam toward achieving her dream.
I wasn't wrong. She loved it. From what I understand, it brought her to tears and gave her goosebumps.
My only complaint is that I wish it was longer. For someone who is active in theatre, knows about the backstage things and wants to see how it's done in the biggest market in the world, SHOW BUSINESS is a must have. A brilliant insight into the things that we don't usually get to see from the best in the world.

Review Summary: Makes me wish I had seen Taboo!
Review: This DVD makes me wish I had seen Taboo on Broadway! It also exposes the critics who only highlighted the supposed "Rosie-Boy George" feud. I remember when Taboo came out that that's all I read about in the press.
Then I watch this DVD and was flabbergasted as to how talented the singers in the show really were! To bad they didn't make a DVD of the show itself!
