Oh, this looks fabulous! I just love Broadway documentaries. For what it's worth, I spoke to Terrence McNally at the Lilly Awards and the documentary of his life should get a wider release this fall.

Has anyone seen "She's the Best Thing in It," about Mary Louise Wilson? I really want to watch that at some point, too.

Yes. Its simply fantastic. It covers her entire career in full underscoring the documentary with her teaching her very first acting class. Even her stint in the early 70s on the CBS sitcom ONE DAY AT A TIME is mentioned which is an example of how much is covered.
