On Broadway
Self
An all-star cast tells the inside story of the Broadway theater, and how it came back from the brink thanks to innovative work, a new attention to inclusion and a sometimes uneasy balance between art and commerce. Legends of the stage and screen—including Helen Mirren, Christine Baranski, August Wilson, James Corden, Alec Baldwin, John Lithgow, Viola Davis, Hugh Jackman and Ian McKellen—take us behind the scenes of Broadway's most groundbreaking and beloved shows, from A Chorus Line to Hamilton. Iconic performances by Lin Manuel Miranda, Patti LuPone, Bernadette Peters, James Earl Jones and Mandy Patinkin lead the way on a hurly burly ride through Times Square, once again the main street of American show business in this documentary directed by Academy-Award nominee Oren Jacoby.

Las élites de la costa

Hamilton
Producer
La historia gira en torno a los padres fundadores de los Estados Unidos, como George Washington y Thomas Jefferson, y a las experiencias vividas por Alexander Hamilton a lo largo de su vida, en la que se codeó con personajes históricos como Aaron Burr y John Laurens. A través de este musical en clave de hip hop, se puede ver cómo Hamilton fue un huérfano en el Caribe, un inmigrante en Nueva York que consiguió hacerse un hueco en el ejército personal de George Washington, ser elegido por el presidente como Secretario del Tesoro de los Estados Unidos, y convertirse en uno de los padres de la política económica norteamericana.
Siempre, Luis

Hamilton's America

In the Heights: Chasing Broadway Dreams
Executive Producer
Making it in New York City is tough. Few get the chance to live out their dreams, and the cast and crew of In the Heights know this all too well. This young, diverse group of relatively unknown artists and performers dreamed of making it on Broadway, but are well aware that a new original musical set outside a bodega in the Latino neighborhood of Washington Heights is a highly risky proposition. It took eight years in all, but they succeeded beyond their wildest expectations, winning four Tony Awards along the way, including Best Musical and Best Score for a Musical. This documentary chronicles the personal stories of composer/lyricist Lin-Manuel Miranda and the cast of In the Heights in the months leading up to its 2008 opening night.
