Cullum shares anecdotes and songs from his Broadway history starring in On The Twentieth Century and Shenandoah (having won Tonys for both), as well as Camelot, The Scottsboro Boys, and Urinetown. Expect stories about friends Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor, Robert Goulet, and Julie Andrews.
The director of photography is Carlos Cardona, with costumes by Tracy Christensen and lighting by Megan Peti. Line producer is Adrian White.
