Movie #2075 ........................."Bathtubs Over Broadway" (Netflix streaming)

 Movie #2075 "Bathtubs Over Broadway" (Netflix streaming)  Looking for an unusual documentary to stream on Netflix?  Check out this one --- it focuses on a late night comedy  writer who comes across a little known corner in the history of Broadway musicals --- the industrial, workplace musical --- The synopsis is below, but my immediate reaction was:  hmmmm, this looks interesting.  But I have to say, it started a bit slow and quite documentary-ish; then, about halfway through, it took a turn and it became more about what musicals do for people, and then it takes off from there and becomes wonderfully entertaining.  I don't know how else to explain it, but we really liked it and recommend it. 4
