IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE Broadway theaters

have been closed for nearly eight months

due to the pandemic. Thankfully for theater

lovers, the Broadway lights shine brightly

on THIRTEEN this month when “Broadway’s

Best” returns to Great Performances. The

special Friday night line-up

is back for a fourth year with

an uproarious comedy, a

world-premiere concert, and

more. So, tune in, watch

online, and enjoy your front-

row seat to Broadway’s best!

We begin on a comedic

high note with One Man,

Two Guvnors (Fri 6th, 9 p.m.). Featuring a

hilarious Tony Award-winning performance

by CBS Late

Late Show

host and self-

proclaimed

Broadway

superfan

James

Corden, the

hit comedy by Richard Bean—adapted

from a 1743 Commedia dell’arte farce and

set in England during the Swinging 60s—

delighted critics and audiences alike

during its West End and Broadway

productions in 2011 and 2012.

Corden plays a musician-turned-

bodyguard trying to keep his two

clients apart, a tricky predicament

resulting in comic mayhem and

a series of increasingly spec-

tacular sight gags and

pratfalls performed masterfully by the

sidesplittingly funny Corden.

What makes Fiddler on the Roof so

timeless? Find out in Fiddler: A Miracle

of Miracles (Fri 13th, 9 p.m.), the first in-

depth documentary on the beloved

musical. Composer

Jerry Bock and

lyricist Sheldon

Harnick are among

those sha r i ng

stories and insights

into the show’s

deep reach across

time and cultures,

along with famous fans Lin-Manuel

Miranda, Topol, Joel Grey, Harvey Fierstein,

and cast members from the 2015 Broad-

way revival including Danny Burstein,

Jessica Hecht, and Alexandra Silber.

Highlights include footage of a 1969

Brooklyn middle school production featur-

ing a predominantly African American

and Hispanic cast, recent productions in

Thailand and Japan, the Temptations

performing “If I Were a Rich Man,” and

reflections on director and choreographer

Jerome Robbins’ famed “Bottle Dance.”

Get in the holiday spirit with a special

encore of Irving Berlin’s Holiday Inn—The

Broadway Musical (Fri 20th, 9 p.m.),

Roundabout Theatre Company’s Tony-

nominated musical packed with

thrilling dance numbers and a parade

of hit Irving Berlin songs, including

“White Christmas,” “Easter Parade,”

and “Shaking the Blues Away.”

THEY’RE CALLED THE HIGHEST ORDER of animal on

the planet. Their big brains make them smart and

adaptable. They use tools, self-medicate, hunt, and

swim. They’re social and political, form hierarchies and

friendships. Get to know the many species of primates—

from the popular chimpanzee and gorilla to more

obscure species like the snub-nosed monkey, the slow

loris, and the tarsier—in this three-part Nature minise-

Rise of the Nazis

Tue 10th-24th, 9 p.m.

IN 1930, GERMANY is a liberal democracy. Four

years later, democracy is dead, Germany’s leader

is a dictator, and the government is in the hands

of the Nazis. Learn how Adolf Hitler and the

Nazis rose to power, from the political scheming

that turned the German parliament into a real-

life House of Cards to the dismantling of

democracy that transformed Hitler into the

all-powerful Führer—and the warning signs that

could have stopped Hitler and changed history.72FILMS LTD

IN 1935, NOTORIOUS PROHIBITION-ERA gangster

and bootlegger Dutch Schultz buried a fortune

worth over $50 million somewhere in America,

but he was gunned down and died without reveal-

ing where it was buried. Join three groups of

treasure hunters, armed with modern technology

and newly uncovered clues from investigators and

one of Dutch’s trusted bodyguards—now 104 years

solve an 85-year-old mystery.LIBRARY OF CONGRESS
