Bathtubs Over Broadway

This movie tells the strange true life story of musical productions that were made for corporate events.

In America's heyday of big corporations and big finance, jingles became king. Companies and corporations would also have national conventions around the country. Singers, dancers, scenic designers, and directors from Broadway were hired to perform in shows written to highlight company products. Some musical productions recorded albums of the performances, which has a niche collection market.

This movie tells the story of Steve Young, a former comedy writer for David Letterman, and his love for these little known musicals. He then follows his passion to research these corporate musicals, and to collect vinyl recordings from the productions.

Now streaming on Netflix, available on Google Play, Vudu, YouTube, Amazon Prime, two stars.
