Broadway: Beyond the Golden Age explores the world of Broadway from 1959 through the early 1980s as recounted by a diverse cast of Broadway stars who lived through it, creating a first-hand archive of personal backstage stories and memories. The new documentary is the long-awaited sequel to late filmmaker Rick McKay’s award-winning 2003 film Broadway: The Golden Age, continuing the saga into the '60s and '70s and spotlighting beloved classic Broadway shows including Once Upon a Mattress, Bye Bye Birdie, Barefoot in the Park, Pippin, A Chorus Line, Ain’t Misbehavin’, Chicago, and 42nd Street. Featuring a galaxy of stars including Alec Baldwin, Carol Burnett, Glenn Close, André De Shields, Jane Fonda, Robert Goulet, Liza Minnelli, Chita Rivera, Dick Van Dyke, Ben Vereen, and many more, the film also includes rare archival photos and never-before-seen footage both onstage and off.

If Carol Channing didn't exist, no one could have made her up. One in a billion, Carol , at 89, remains an unstoppable, megawatt dynamo. Broadway diva extraordinaire is just the icing. Carol Channing hovered at the pinnacle of the entertainment world from the late-1950's through the 1960's and beyond, living life sensationally large. As Carol has observed, '...if you're lucky enough to have two hit shows, the world passes through your dressing room'. At 89, she remains irrepressible.

Broadway: The Golden Age is the most important, ambitious and comprehensive film ever made about America's most celebrated indigenous art form. Award-winning filmmaker Rick McKay filmed over 100 of the greatest stars ever to work on Broadway or in Hollywood. He soon learned that great films can be restored, fine literature can be kept in print - but historic Broadway performances of the past are the most endangered. They leave only memories that, while more vivid, are more difficult to preserve. In their own words — and not a moment too soon — Broadway: The Golden Age tells the stories of our theatrical legends, how they came to New York, and how they created this legendary century in American theatre. This is the largest cast of legends ever in one film.

Действие происходит в декабре 1910 года. Эльфы Санта-Клауса ухитрились закончить приготовление всех подарков за неделю до рождества, и миссис Клаус пытается уговорить мужа испытать новый, разработанный ею маршрут для доставки подарков детям - однако он слишком увлечен текущими делами и практически не обращает на неё внимания. Уставшая быть лишь «тенью великого человека» и безвылазно дожидаться мужа среди снегов, Анна Клаус хочет решиться на «что-нибудь этакое» и в конце концов берёт сани и оленей Санты, и отправляется в поездку сама. Попав в буран над Нью-Йорком, она вынужденно делает посадку и уже после неё обнаруживает, что один из оленей, Кьюпид, подвернул ногу. Любезный молодой итальянец Марчелло из соседней конюшни осматривает оленя и констатирует, что травма небольшая и заживёт в спокойной обстановке менее чем за неделю.
