Description

TONY BENNETT: AN AMERICAN CLASSIC, created and directed by acclaimed director Rob Marshall ("Chicago", "Memoirs of a Geisha"), is a ground-breaking television event in a contemporary reinvention of the variety special with show stopping dance numbers and breathtaking stage production. In this “Docu-Musical,” Marshall and his entire Academy Award-winning creative team take the viewer on an emotional musical journey of this legendary entertainer’s life by re-creating the seminal venues of Tony’s career. From the 52nd Street swing club to the early Columbia recording studio; from the classic TV studios of the ‘60s to the “rat pack” Las Vegas stage; from Carnegie Hall to his triumphant performance on “MTV Unplugged,” Tony performs live duets of his greatest hits with today’s greatest artists including Christina Aguilera, Elton John, John Legend, Barbra Streisand, Stevie Wonder, Chris Botti and more... Seamlessly woven throughout are narratives by Billy Crystal, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Bruce Willis, John Travolta and Robert De Niro. TONY BENNETT: AN AMERICAN CLASSIC is an unparalleled viewing experience destined to become a timeless classic in itself. 1. Smile" - Barbara Streisand 2. Sing You Sinners" - John Legend 3.
