Broadway Revisited
Humphrey Burton introduces excerpts from Mass (1971), the Jerome Robbins ballet The Dybbuk (1947), and 1600, Pennsylvania Avenue (1976), Bernstein's ill-fated collaboration with Alan Jay Lemer. Among today's guests are the composer's daughter Jamie Bernstein Thomas , who has performed in Mass, and Patricia Routledge , who played the First Lady in the original production of 1600, Pennsylvania Avenue, which she described as "a diamond-studded dinosaur".
