Полиция Нью-Йорка безуспешно пытается найти серийного убийцу, жертвами которого становятся однофамильцы известных личностей минувших эпох. Вскоре детективы убеждаются, что маньяк верит в то, что у каждого поколения есть 36 праведников, живущих среди обычных людей, без которых мир погрузился бы в хаос. Преступник считает, что уже расправился с 35-ю из них, и теперь полицейским предстоит найти последнего «святого», прежде чем это сделает убийца.

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.

Best friends compete for the title of "Miss Twirl" (similar to a Miss America contest with the primary category of competition being (what else?) twirling!). The real test, however, is whether their friendship will survive through the contest with the pressure and interference from their parents to win.

Прошу детей простить меня за то, что я посвятил эту книжку взрослому. Скажу в оправдание: этот взрослый мой самый лучший друг. И еще: он понимает все на свете, даже детские книжки. И, наконец, он живет во Франции, а там сейчас голодно и холодно. И он очень нуждается в утешении. Если же все это меня не оправдывает, я посвящу книжку тому мальчику, каким был когда-то мой взрослый друг. Ведь все взрослые сначала были детьми, только мало кто из них об этой помнит. И так, я исправляю посвящение: Леону Верту, когда он был маленький.

In 1970, right after the triumphant premiere of Stephen Sondheim’s groundbreaking concept musical Company, the renowned composer and lyricist, his director Harold Prince, the show’s stars, and a large pit orchestra all went into a Manhattan recording studio as part of a time-honored Broadway tradition: the making of the original cast album. What ensued was a marathon session in which, with the pressures of posterity and the coolly exacting Sondheim’s perfectionism hanging over them, all involved pushed themselves to the limit.
