Rating: 5.0/5 (1 vote cast)

On Broadway is the story of Jack O'Toole (Joey McIntyre), who loses his godfather after a tragic accident. The event and its ramifications inspires the would-be writer to launch a play within his hometown. With no money and only his instincts to guide him, Jack mounts the play on the only stage he can afford: in the back room of a local pub on a neighborhood street called Broadway. On Broadway hones in on the ties of family within the warmth of Boston's neighborhoods.
Why It's FilmBuff
This film captures Boston and the spirit of independent filmmaking. Shot on location, On Broadway reads like a love letter to the city where it was filmed. A surprising choice for the lead role, Joe McIntyre (aka Joey from New Kids on the Block) gets support from talented film veterans Amy Poehler, Will Arnett and Eliza Dushku. An interesting concept from the start On Broadway gives musical theater a whole new spin.
