Broadway: The Golden Age, by the Legends Who Were There Ratings & Reviews
Seattle Times
Misha Berson
McKay's straightforward cinematic valentine, which also includes rare archival stage footage, is a treat for those bedazzled by the idea of Broadway in its prime.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
It's the videotaped equivalent of a primary research data dump. But to quote Bette Davis by way of Edward Albee: What a dump.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Jeff Strickler
For theater lovers -- on both sides of the footlights.
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
Rather than listen to these old-timers reminisce about the good old days ... my advice is to get out and support your local thespians instead.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Old-timers, showbiz buffs and big-stage wanna-bes will not be disappointed.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
A delightful 'That's Entertainment' for the theater, offering priceless interviews with a who's who of entertainers and behind-the-scenes talent, as well as tantalizing snippets of long-ago performances.
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
Theater fans, whose numbers continue to dwindle, will cherish the rest of Broadway as a remembrance of a great time long gone.
Dallas Morning News
Tom Sime
Manages to immerse us in the moment, Broadway from the late '40s to the mid-'60s, even if we weren't there.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
The strength of McKay's film is not in identifying a cultural period, but in giving voice to so many great theater people.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
In what must have been a daunting challenge, given the richness of the material, McKay managed to cull from more than 250 hours of footage an admirably comprehensive and revealing documentary running a taut 110 minutes.
Newsday
Gene Seymour
If you've ever fantasized about sitting in an all-night deli listening to veteran theater people dish and reminiscence about the Great White Way in mid-20th century bloom, filmmaker Rick McKay's cascading cavalcade of talking heads is the next best thing.
Boxoffice Magazine
Sheri Linden
These anecdotes come across with powerful emotion, although many of them relay oft-documented events.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
The stories they tell in this warm, evocative documentary crackle with humor and glow with reverence. By listening to those stories, you'll glow too.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
If you love the theater, you've got to see the film and simply enjoy as everyone from A (Edie Adams) to Z (Karen Ziemba) holds forth.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
While less than artfully composed, Rick McKay's homegrown documentary about the glory days of the American theater represents an invaluable oral history.
Variety
Scott Foundas
Perhaps the screen's most authoritative encapsulation of Broadway history and an intimately resonant one.
Observer
Rex Reed
Riveting, historically valuable and heart-skippingly exhilarating.
Village Voice
Charles McNulty
The autograph-hound sensibility that colors [McKay's] interviews ... provokes mostly unmemorable nostalgia from his roster of geriatric luminaries.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
The best way to approach Broadway -- The Golden Age (and the movie is fun, despite its messiness) is to enjoy it as a fan's worshipful notes.
