The theme was the global reach of Broadway. The "Wide World of Broadway": Vienna: West Side Story; Tokyo: The King and I; Milan: Ciao, Rudy; Paris: Hello, Dolly!; London: Show Boat; Zagreb, Yugoslavia: Man of La Mancha; and Wichita Falls, Texas: My Fair Lady.
(AS INTERESTING AS THE THEME WAS, 'PIPPIN' WAS THE ONLY NEW MUSICAL REPRESENTED. EXCLUDING A Little Night Music, Don't Bother Me I Can't Cope & Sugar. WHAT A SHAME! WHAT I WOULDN'T GIVE TO SEE ORIGINAL FOOTAGE FROM THESE OTHER SHOWS!!!!!!!!)
