David Campbell explains the history of the Broadway musical through performances and
interviews, documenting the recording of his own new Broadway album in the process. The result is an access-all-areas television special with a 40-piece orchestra."I hope that if just a little bit of my own passion for Broadway rubs off on the viewers, they'll
be hooked," Campbell said.
Songs performed by Campbell in the show include Oh What a Beautiful Mornin' (Oklahoma!), Luck Be A Lady (Guys & Dolls), Bring Him Home (Les Miserables), You'll Never Walk Alone (Carousel), and All I Care About Is Love (Chicago). Viewers will also see Campbell recording the world premiere of a song from the forthcoming musical version of Catch Me If You Can, by Hairspray writers Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman.
Guests interviewed by David in the program include Stephen Schwartz (Oscar and Grammy
winning composer of Godspell and Wicked), Alan Cumming (Tony winning star of Cabaret
on Broadway, as well as the upcoming musical version of Spiderman), Alain Boublil (writer
of Les Miserables and Miss Saigon), and John Kander (composer of musicals such as
Cabaret and Chicago, and the song New York, New York). There are also interviews with
David Campbell himself, and the Grammy winning producers of his new Broadway album, Rob Fisher and Bill Elliott. David Campbell On Broadway is made by Campbell�??s own production company, Luckiest Productions.
