Synopsis by Jason Buchanan

It's a star-studded extravaganza of epic proportions as the biggest names in showbiz gather together on-stage to pay tribute to public television in a 1983 television special captured live at the Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas and hosted by acting veterans Diahann Carroll and Richard Kiley. A highly-charged musical variety special that features a winning-collection of Broadway and Tin Pan Alley favorites including "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" and "The Impossible Dream," this once-in-a-lifetime television special offers the talents of such Tinseltown luminaries as Patti LuPone, Steve Allen, Rich Little, Jayne Meadows, opera diva Roberta Peters, and a 36-piece orchestra fronted by renowned bandleader Raymond Offenberg.
