About Music & Film

The curtain call is theater's sweetest ritual — the moment the story pauses and the real people step forward to share in the joy they've created. On Broadway, a standing ovation can roll on for minutes, the whole cast hand-in-hand, the star stepping downstage to one last blaze of the spotlight. Roses and bouquets arc through the air, "bravo" rings from the upper balcony, and for just a little while, nobody wants the night to end.
