The Show Must Go On

The Show Must Go On, a new documentary about efforts to bring the world tour of The Phantom of the Opera and the South Korean tour of Cats to their respective opening nights in the wake of COVID-19, is now in post-production. Shot in South Korea, the United States and the United Kingdom, the film features Andrew Lloyd Webber as well as the touring companies. The doc is directed by Emmy winner and Broadway producer Dori Berinstein and her daughter Sammi Cannold, who helmed Lloyd Webber's Evita at City Center in 2019.

Directed by Dori Berinstein, Sammi Cannold, The Show Must Go On leans on a strong ensemble — Ginny Kim, Kristen Blodgette, Andrew Lloyd Webber — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2021.
