    Expected the laughs, the journey was delightful surprise.

    Musicals to motivate American salespeople? For real? Afraid so. And we're so much better for it. At least I am, after seeing Bathtubs Over Broadway. Excellent storytelling. Mr. Young took me down unexpected paths. I thoroughly enjoyed each new discovery along with him. He's got a joy and drive for discovery that you can't help but embrace.

    A Rare Look at Amazing Industrial Shows

    The General Public has never seen the likes of these shows. Now for the first time everyone can delight in this Marvelous Musical Madness. Bravo/a.

    Come for the kitsch, stay for the fun!

    As a former would-be Broadway actor, I always SO wanted to get cast in an "industrial." I never made it, but at last I can participate, even if only from the audience.

    This little film is a gem, and you'll learn more than you ever suspected you didn't know about this art form. It's great fun!

    Unexpected poignancy

    One needn't enter into viewing this documentary with any background knowledge of either musical theater or the corporate world to find oneself deeply moved by an exploration of the strange landscape where those two worlds meet. Initially, the film presents itself as a quirky investigation of the bizarre world of industrial musicals, played for laughs. By the end, it turns into something much sweeter and stranger, a testament to friendship, passion, and the human spirit. I laughed, cried, smiled, and wondered. The film is worth every minute of your time.

    Sneaks up, steals your heart

    An absolute gem. These arcane industrial musicals aren't particularly compelling, but the stories behind them are fetching, lovingly told, and peppered with sweet reveals that sneak up on you and steal your heart. The finale features a life lesson that is inspiring and pitch perfect.

    • Trivia
      During the "My Bathroom" scene, the filming split that makes the actress look like she's singing to her mirror reflection (and vice versa) can be seen in the black leg of the large shelving unit to her left, as the left side of it is wobbling up and down slightly.
