Plot

In his early days penning comedy for the "Late Show with David Letterman," Steve Young's life revolved solely around his writing craft, his world extending no further than his script-filled desk. However, an unexpected discovery during a routine material hunt for the show catapulted him into a captivating, obscure world that would forever alter his life's course. He stumbled upon an array of vintage record albums, each marked "internal use only," that revealed a hidden realm of Broadway-style musical shows. Uniquely, these melodic narratives were not about star-crossed lovers or historical epics – but rather, they celebrated the stalwarts of American industry: General Electric, McDonald's, Ford, DuPont, Xerox. Though a stranger to the glitz and glamour of musical theatre, Young was irresistibly drawn to these eccentric recordings, their melodies and performances eliciting a joy in him he'd never before experienced. As Young embarks on a quest to unearth rare albums, unviewed footage, and the creators and stars behind them, he forges unexpected friendships and reveals a forgotten chapter of musical history. This discarded genre, filled with singing tractors and dancing bathtubs, was, it turns out, a phenomenon that once rivaled even Broadway. This is the fascinating journey of "Bathtubs Over Broadway," a tale of discovery, delight, and the unlikely magic of corporate musicals.
