Hidden Gems: Bathtubs over Broadway

In the very early nineties, I was part of an industrial video which just so happened to also be a musical. The client was Weyerhauser, it was a week’s worth of work and somehow, despite of my lack of singing, dancing, and acting ability, I was hired.  
 
I only bring this up as there is a delightful documentary on Netflix currently titled Bathtubs Over Broadway. For the un-initiated, of which I am positive there are legion, it is a history, of sorts, of industrial musical theatre. Say what? You heard me. This is the story of the songwriters, lyricists and talent behind musical productions that were produced specifically for General Electric, Dupont, Xerox, Ford Motor, Firestone, Silicon, and the good people who make urinals, toilets and sinks. Inspired by Late Night with David Letterman comedy writer Steve Young’s journey from mere collector of niche recordings, to full fledge enthusiast. 
 
These were million-dollar productions with over 2 times the budget of a Broadway Musical. Some of the writers of the music and lyrics to these shows included Kander and Webb (Cabaret, Chicago) and Sheldon Harnick (Fiddler on the Roof) and featured performances by Florence Henderson, Hal Linden, Tony Randall and others. But this is not their story, it is more the story of the men and women on the very fringe of show business who made a living acting in lavish productions that were never to be seen by the public. 
 
This is one of those moving little pictures that you stumble upon that you just must share. It is simply that good and I highly recommend it!
 
And now, for your viewing pleasure, a musical scene from my industrial film. I am the guy on your right with the choreographed eyebrows.
 
I Love Pulp.
