Set the TiVo for Trio!

Trio, the Canadian TV channel that is mainly available via satellite dish, is running a Broadway salute this month with things like the recent PBS taping of Fosse and the concert version of Sweeney Todd.  The most interesting, TiVo-worthy program is Broadway Legends, hosted by Matthew Broderick and featuring short interviews with the likes of S. Sondheim, N. Lane, N. Simon, J. Robards and many others.  But the thing to really keep an eye out for is that, between shows, they sometimes run a little 4-minute featurette — an expanded version of the "Come Back to Broadway" commercial that was done last year to try and counteract the dip in theatre-going that followed 9/11.  It's every star then playing in New York, congregated in Times Square, singing a rousing rendition of "New York, New York," and it's just a delight to watch.
