Directed by Emmy-nominated director Amy Rice (HBO's By the People: The Election of Barack Obama, The Newsroom), the feature-length documentary chronicles the Broadway community's harrowing and inspiring journey back to the stage following the COVID-19 shutdown on March 12, 2020. Over 96,000 people lost their jobs when The Great White Way went dark decimating an entire ecosystem of businesses supporting the industry. From actors to artisans, directors to doormen, producers to prop masters, not one aspect of the business was left untouched. But the show must go on! The film turns the spotlight on the community and highlights their stories of anxiety, doubt, perseverance and ultimately triumph on the long-awaited opening night, September 14, 2021.

The further we move away from the darkest months of the pandemic, the more documentaries like these will be valuable, as a reminder of what it was like to swab up and mask up just to do the most natural human thing: spending time with other people.

New York Times

It can’t fail to trigger shudders of recognition as well as feelings of release, but the filmmaking lacks a certain drama.

Director Amy Rice wisely expands the story beyond the stage stars, making the impactful case that behind the bright lights lies an entire ecosystem essential to the city.

Broadway Rising pulls back the curtain on all the people who inspire storytelling in its most glorious form. We rely on the audience for equal care when they come to the theatre.

I had great hopes for a glimpse into the struggles of Broadway during the pandemic. It started out well, but quickly turned into another political rant by a few of the interviewees. Ruined it for me. Some people can't just address the subject at hand without their politics...
