The stories told were extremely selective but well thought-out. The Jane White/George Abbott story was refreshing.

I still think we need more Gwen Verdon, Helen Gallagher, Jule Styne, Carol Haney, and a sequence about Barbara Harris. Good focus on Janis Paige.

My jaw dropped when the stars of Ain't Misbehavin' talked about what they had to go through to get a taxi after a performance.

I guess the documentary figured that it had no choice but dedicate a large segment to A Chorus Line. There's no question that the show is historically significant but I just feel like I've heard all those stories many times before (or is it just me?). Surely there's more to be discovered.

I was also a little disappointed that there wasn't a lot of video that most of us haven't already seen. The Chita/Liza stuff was fantastic.

Overall though, I LOVED the entire documentary.
