Episode overview

Few have captured the magic of the theater better than Moss Hart, a poor kid from the Bronx who went on to become a lion of Broadway. Now another lion of the theater, James Lapine, reinvents Hart's memoir for the stage, creating a world as vivid and transformative as the stage itself. The first-rate cast, led by Tony Shalhoub and Andrea Martin, anchors the play's magic in real human emotion.
