ON BROADWAY is about how laughter helps us deal with loss. It's about the ties of family and the warmth of Boston's neighborhoods. It's about a young man with visions, and the guts to go for it. It's about the refusal to bow to adversity. It's about a father and son, and breaking down the wall that divides them. It's about life.

Jack and Kate O'Toole, just married, their future lies in front of them. Then Jack's godfather falls from a roof and dies.
At the wake, Jack hears the dead man's voice telling him to write a play. When nobody else will produce the play, Jack quits his job to produce it himself. With no money and just his gut to guide him, Jack mounts the play on the only stage he can afford: in the back room of a local pub...on a neighborhood street called Broadway.
