4/5. Humphrey Burton presents excerpts some of Bernstein's stage works of the 1970s, including Mass, the ballet Dybbuk, and 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue - Bernstein's ill-fated collaboration with Alan Jay Lerner. Among the guests are the composer's daughter, Jamie Bernstein , 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".
