About this episode
Garth Drabinsky overcomes a sickly childhood to become a world-famous theater producer, bringing big shows like Phantom of the Opera and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat to his native Canada. Then he tackles Broadway, always staging shows that were bigger, brighter, and more expensive than anyone else. Like every theater kid, he’s determined the show must go on — even if that involves a little fraud. But when the most feared man in Hollywood becomes a business partner, Garth’s dreams come crashing down in dramatic fashion.
