What will you do at age 90? Leonard Soloway is bringing a show to Broadway. Admit it. You just thought, “Who is that?” We are glad you asked. So is he. Leonard Soloway is an authentic Broadway legend whose career includes over 100 shows, 62 Tony nominations, 40 Tony Awards, and 21 Drama Desk Awards. And he has worked with some of the greatest stars of the stage along the way. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Soloway started his career at the Cleveland Play House. After moving to New York, he landed a few acting bits before finding his niche as a general manager and producer. Outspoken, humorous, and openly gay long before it was acceptable, Soloway became a force in the Broadway world with his dedication and boundless energy. LEONARD SOLOWAY’S BROADWAY is a warm and friendly documentary that (wisely) stands aside and lets this disarming gentleman tell his own story in his own way. Soloway is an elegant raconteur, so prepare for razzle-dazzle and backstage gossip delivered with enough charm to power a thousand opening nights. —C.R.
