Synopsis by Mark Deming

Some of Broadway's leading lights came together for this celebration of the art of the stage musical, featuring 24 showstopping numbers from some of the biggest successes ever to grace the Great White Way. Selections include Liza Minnelli performing "Some People" from Gypsy; Andrea McArdle singing "Look for the Silver Lining" and "Tomorrow," from Annie; Bebe Neuwirth and Karen Ziemba teaming up for "Nowadays/Hot Honey Rag" from Chicago; Jennifer Holliday reprising her star-making number from Dreamgirls with "And I Tell You I'm Not Going;" Elaine Stritch singing "The Ladies Who Lunch" from Company; and Nell Carter belting out the title number from Ain't Misbehavin'. Tony Roberts and Robert Morse also weigh in with a tribute to the ladies of the stage as they sing "The Beauty that Drives a Man Mad" from Sugar.
