What stands out first about BANDSTAND: The Broadway Musical on Screen is the confidence with which Lorenzo Thione establishes its music drama identity. Rather than relying on premise alone, BANDSTAND: The Broadway Musical on Screen asks Carleigh Bettiol and Mary Callanan to supply personality from the opening stretch. The premise of BANDSTAND: The Broadway Musical on Screen is established with useful clarity: In 1945, as America's soldiers come home to ticker tape parades and overjoyed families, Private First Class Donny Novitski, singer and songwriter, returns to rebuild his life with only the shirt on his back and a dream in his heart. That direct approach lets BANDSTAND: The Broadway Musical on Screen use its 2h 10m running time for character, atmosphere and consequence.
