WOMAN: ♪ DANCED [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE] GUSTAVO: HERE AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL, MUSIC HAS NO BOUNDARIES.

THE BOWL IS WHERE MUSIC BELONGS TO ALL OF US.

WHEN THE MUSIC PLAYS, EVERYONE IS RIGHT WHERE THEY BELONG.

I AM GUSTAVO DUDAMEL, MUSIC AND ARTISTIC DIRECTOR OF THE LOS ANGELES PHILHARMONIC.

TODAY, I INVITE YOU TO JOIN ME AT MY SUMMER HOME--THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL.

[CROWD CHEERING] THE LOVE AFFAIR BETWEEN HOLLYWOOD AND BROADWAY GOES BACK TO THE LATE 1920S AND THE RISE OF TALKING PICTURES.

SOME OF THE EARLIEST MOVIES WITH SOUND WERE MUSICALS BORROWED FROM BROADWAY.

TODAY, WE BEGIN OUR LOOK AT WHERE MUSICALS AND THE MOVIES MEET WITH LEONARD BERNSTEIN.

BERNSTEIN DID IT ALL.

HE WAS A COMPOSER, HE WAS A CONDUCTOR, AUTHOR, AND ACTIVIST.

AND HE COMPOSED IT ALL-- HIS MUSIC SPANNED CLASSICAL AND POPULAR STYLES, AS WELL AS FILM, THEATER, AND THE CONCERT HALL.

BERNSTEIN DID MORE TO POPULARIZE CLASSICAL MUSIC THAN ANYONE BEFORE HIM.

HE MADE IT AMERICAN-- NOT FOR THE ELITE BUT FOR EVERYONE.

IN 2018, I WAS JOINED BY BROADWAY STARS SUTTON FOSTER AND BRIAN STOKES MITCHELL TO CELEBRATE BERNSTEIN'S 100TH ANNIVERSARY WITH SELECTIONS FROM "ON THE TOWN."

THE MUSICAL IS A GREAT BIG LOVE LETTER FROM LEONARD BERNSTEIN TO NEW YORK CITY, AND THIS IS OUR HOLLYWOOD BOWL LOVE LETTER TO HIM.

BOTH SHE AND BRIAN HAVE BEEN PERFORMING ON THE BOWL STAGE IN CONCERT AND IN FULLY STAGED MUSICALS FOR YEARS.

THEY RECENTLY REUNITED TO TELL US WHAT IT IS LIKE TO PLAY THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL.

SUTTON: STOKES, HOW ARE YOU?

BRIAN: I'M GOOD, SUTTON.

HOW ARE YOU?

IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU.

YOU'RE UPSTATE, RIGHT?

SUTTON: YEAH, ABOUT AN HOUR NORTHWEST OF THE CITY IT'S BEEN, UM, IT'S BEEN INTERESTING.

IT'S BEEN AN INTERESTING TIME.

AND I WAS THINKING, ABOUT A YEAR AGO, I WAS ACTUALLY PLAYING THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL WITH "INTO THE WOODS."

WHEN DID YOU FIRST MAKE YOUR DEBUT AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL?

BRIAN: YOU KNOW, IT'S--IT'S FUNNY.

I-- I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER, 'CAUSE I'VE BEEN THERE SO MANY TIMES NOW.

SUTTON: I'VE ONLY BEEN THERE TWICE.

[BRIAN LAUGHS] I WAS TRYING TO COUNT THE TIMES THAT I'VE BEEN THERE.

I THINK IT'S BEEN ABOUT MAYBE 10 TIMES NOW, AND I WAS TRYING TO REMEMBER THE FIRST ONE.

I THINK IT WAS MAYBE WITH JOHN WILLIAMS.

BUT HERE'S THE-- HERE'S THE CRAZY THING.

ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, A FRIEND CALLS ME UP AND HE SAYS, "HEY, MY WIFE CAN'T GO TO--WE HAVE TICKETS FOR THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL TO SEE HARRY CONNICK TONIGHT.

AND WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO?"

AND I SAID, "OH, SURE, THAT SOUNDS LIKE FUN."

I REALIZED AS I WAS WALKING THROUGH, I PERFORMED THERE SO MANY TIMES.

I'VE NEVER SEEN A CONCERT AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL.

ISN'T THAT CRAZY?

IT WAS A REALLY SPECTACULAR EXPERIENCE.

AND I COULDN'T BELIEVE--I THOUGHT, "I'M REALLY EMBARRASSED THAT I'VE ACTUALLY NEVER SEEN A SHOW AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL," AND HERE I'VE PERFORMED THERE 10, 12 TIMES.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY AT THIS POINT.

SO, IT WAS A JOY.

HOW ABOUT YOU?

WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST TIME, SUTTON?

SUTTON: MY--WELL, MY FIRST TIME PERFORMING WAS WITH YOU.

THAT WAS MY VERY FIRST TIME AT THE BOWL, BUT MY FIRST TIME GOING TO SEE A CONCERT THERE WAS TO SEE DIANA KRALL.

SO, BEING A NEW YORKER, I-- WE DON'T HAVE THINGS LIKE THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL IN NEW YORK CITY.

I JUST HAD NEVER SAT IN A-- IN AN AUDIENCE LIKE THAT BUT ALSO I JUST--TO BE OUTSIDE.

AND THEN AS THE SUN IS GOING DOWN AND THE AIR GETS COOLER AND IT'S JUST LIKE, IT'S REALLY MY FAVORITE THING IN LOS ANGELES.

AND IT JUST SORT OF, IT JUST BLEW MY MIND.

IT'S A VERY SPECIAL THING.

BRIAN: SO, WHAT DID IT FEEL LIKE PERFORMING THERE FOR THE FIRST TIME AFTER YOU'D EXPERIENCED IT?

SUTTON: WELL, I WASN'T ORIGINALLY SUPPOSED TO PERFORM.

IT WAS KRISTIN CHENOWETH.

YOU AND KRISTIN CHENOWETH WERE PERFORMING.

AND I GOT A CALL TO COME IN, AND I WAS GRATEFUL THAT--'CAUSE I WAS LIKE, THIS IS TERRIFYING, 'CAUSE THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE.

AND THEN I REMEMBER FEELING GRATEFUL AS--AS IT GOT DARKER AND DARKER AND DARKER, SO I WOULDN'T HAVE TO SEE ALL THE PEOPLE.

BUT IT'S LIKE, I JUST REMEMBER HAVING, LIKE, A STUPID GRIN PLASTERED ON MY FACE THE ENTIRE TIME BECAUSE I WAS--IT'S ONE OF THOSE, YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE A BUCKET LIST MOMENT.

BRIAN: WELL, YOU BLEW IT OUT OF THE WATER, TOO.

I REMEMBER, AND I REMEMBER THINKING, "THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME HERE?"

AT FIRST I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT WAS YOUR FIRST TIME AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL.

IT WAS JUST, IT WAS A JOYFUL, JOYFUL NIGHT FOR ME.

AND--AND I WAS TERRIFIED AS WELL, BECAUSE IT WAS A LOT OF NEW MATERIAL I REMEMBER WE WERE DOING.

AND THERE WERE SONGS THAT I'D NEVER, NEVER DONE BEFORE.

AND THAT'S ALWAYS SCARY.

SUTTON: WE BOTH HAD ALL THESE NEW LYRICS AND THINGS, AND I WAS JUST, LIKE, PANICKED THAT I WAS GONNA FORGET A LYRIC.

AND YEAH, 'CAUSE WE ENDED UP PICKING THE SONG SELECTION.

WE--I THINK WE ONLY HAD, LIKE, A COUPLE WEEKS OR SOMETHING.

YEAH, IT WAS-- BRIAN: YEAH.

SUTTON: BUT THAT'S ALSO WHAT MAKES IT EXCITING.

VERY ALIVE.

HA HA HA!

BRIAN: YEAH, IT IS.

SO, FOR YOU, WHAT FELT DIFFERENT ABOUT THE BOWL?

WHAT MADE IT UNIQUE?

WHAT MADE IT DIFFERENT FROM ALL THE OTHER THEATERS AND VENUES THAT YOU'VE PERFORMED IN?

SUTTON: IT'S--MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS THE SIZE.

BUT THEN ODDLY, IT FEELS INTIMATE, WHICH HAS SURPRISED ME.

LIKE, IT IS--I'VE NEVER BEEN ON A--ON A STAGE THAT ENORMOUS AND IN--AND IN FRONT OF THAT MANY PEOPLE.

SO, I WAS REALLY SCARED ABOUT THAT.

BUT THEN AS SOON AS I CAME, AS SOON AS I STEPPED ON THE STAGE WITH THE AUDIENCE, I WAS SORT OF LIKE, OH, IT FELT ACTUALLY VERY INTIMATE.

AND IT'S HARD TO PINPOINT.

THERE IS SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL ABOUT PERFORMING OUTDOORS, TOO.

AND--AND YOU ARE SURROUNDED BY NATURE AND, LIKE, THE BOWL IS, LIKE, BUILT INTO THE SIDE OF A MOUNTAIN.

YOU KNOW, I MEAN, IT'S--IT'S JUST A VERY SPECIAL PLACE.

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

BRIAN: I--I WOULD--I WOULD AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT YOU SAID, ACTUALLY.

THERE--THERE'S SOMETHING MAGICAL ABOUT THAT PLACE.

I THINK IT REALLY-- BECAUSE OF THE HISTORY THERE AND BECAUSE IT'S KIND OF BEEN PASSED DOWN THROUGH FAMILIES AND THROUGH GENERATIONS, AND IT'S JUST--THE HISTORY OF THAT PLACE.

TO KNOW WHEN YOU WALK ON THAT STAGE, YOU'RE WALKING ON A STAGE THAT, YOU KNOW, THE BEATLES HAVE PLAYED.

AND, I MEAN, JUST EVERY GREAT THAT YOU CAN IMAGINE IN THE HISTORY OF--OF MODERN PERFORMERS, YOU KNOW, SINCE THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL HAS BEEN THERE, HAVE WALKED THOSE SAME BOARDS, AND THEN TO BE INVITED TO BE A PART OF THAT CONTINUUM IS JUST SUCH A--A GREAT HONOR.

AND THEN YOU FEEL WHAT OTHER PEOPLE OVER HISTORY HAVE PROBABLY FELT AND THE REASON THAT EVERYBODY LOVES PERFORMING THAT--THERE AS WELL.

AND I AGREE--IT'S GOT AN ODDLY INTIMATE FEELING.

SUTTON: YEAH.

YEAH.

BRIAN: YOU KNOW, BEING A PART OF THE THEATER, YOU KNOW, IT'S SO FRUSTRATING AND SAD TO SEE SO MANY THEATERS ACROSS THE NATION AND THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL, CERTAINLY, HAS BEEN IN MY HEART IN A HUGE WAY, BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A WONDERFUL PLACE TO CELEBRATE WITH YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR FRIENDS, AND FOR PEOPLE TO GET TOGETHER.

UM, YOU KNOW, IT'S WHAT MAKES, I THINK, THE THEATER SO MAGICAL, IS, IS, YOU'RE EXPERIENCING STORYTELLING AND SONGS AND DANCE.

YOU'RE EXPERIENCING IT TOGETHER.

SUTTON: YEAH, I MEAN, I FEEL EVERY SINGLE THING THAT YOU'RE SAYING.

I FEEL THERE IS NOTHING LIKE PERFORMING LIVE.

THERE IS NOTHING LIKE HAVING THIS SHARED EXPERIENCE WITH THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, AND THAT IS SINGULAR TO, LIKE, THAT EVENING.

AND EVERY EVENING IS DIFFERENT, AND EVEN THOUGH IT MIGHT BE THE SAME CAST OF CHARACTERS ONSTAGE, IT IMMEDIATELY CHANGES BECAUSE THE AUDIENCE BRINGS ITS OWN ENERGY TO THE SCENARIO, AND-- AND--I--I JUST ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT, AND SO, IT--IT'S SUCH A STRANGE TIME, AND I REALIZED EARLY ON DURING THE PANDEMIC THAT WHAT WE DO REQUIRES PEOPLE TO GATHER.

IT REQUIRES HEARTS AND SOULS TO CONNECT AND IT-- IT'S A VULNERABLE, BEAUTIFUL THING, AND I ACHE FOR IT.

I LONG FOR IT.

I LONG FOR WHEN WE CAN ALL BE SAFELY BACK TOGETHER AGAIN.

BRIAN: AMEN TO THAT.

LET'S GO OUT ON THAT-- ON THAT HAPPY THOUGHT.

HUGS TO ALL, OK?

SO GOOD TO SEE YOU.

SUTTON: BYE!

GUSTAVO: HERE AGAIN IS BRIAN STOKES MITCHELL WITH A HEARTFELT RENDITION OF BERNSTEIN'S "LUCKY TO BE ME," FOLLOWED BY THE LOS ANGELES PHILHARMONIC PERFORMING THE "TIMES SQUARE BALLET."
