Summary
Four-time Tony-winning actor and playwright Harvey Fierstein is your host for a compilation of amazing dramatic performances from the archives of the Tony Award broadcasts between 1969 and 2001. Legendary stars perform key scenes from 19 legendary shows, performances seen only once in their original telecast. Collected here with commentary by a Broadway veteran, they become a treasure-trove for fans of great drama.
