"This is Broadway" is a series of more than 60 short radio interviews created by The Broadway League, as an effort to promote Broadway theatre, some 32 years ago. The program consisted of weekly three-and-a-half minute interviews with Broadway luminaries, hosted by Isobel Robins and Richard Seff, and syndicated to radio stations around the country. Filled with charm and wit, these short features haven't been heard since their original broadcast, and feature a wide-array of then contemporary voices in the theatre, some now silenced and others having gone on to even greater fame and fortune. "This is Broadway" is a unique time capsule of Broadway theatre, revived for a new century through the collaboration of The Broadway League
and the American Theatre Wing.

Actress Gretchen Wyler, who replaced Gwen Verdon in Damn Yankees and Chita Rivera in Bye Bye Birdie, talks about welcoming Robert Preston into the title role of the Broadway comedy Sly Fox; how the cast was eager for the changes and freshness a new leading man brought to the play. Wyler also compares this play to physically demanding singing-and-dancing roles.
