in memory of Carol Toobin
Who would have imagined that a documentary about “corporate musicals” could be so utterly charming and delightful? Steve Young, a former comedy writer for the “Late Night with David Letterman” takes us on an unusual journey of discovery of the “other” Broadway that was a home to the famous and not so famous future stars.
With songs like “My Bathroom” from American-Standard’s The Bathrooms are Coming, “I’ve Got a Wide Range of Features” from GE’s It’s a Great New Line, and music from Detroit Diesel’s 1966 show Diesel Dazzle, Bathtubs Over Broadway is a must see!
Premiering at the Tribecca Film Festival, Bathtubs went on to win over a dozen audience audience and other awards. Whether it’s familiar names like Sheldon Harnick and Kander & Ebb or those less familiar, we think you’ll be charmed.

IN MEMORY OF CAROL TOOBIN (1947 – 2020)
Carol Toobin was a dear friend and integral part of the Santa Fe Jewish Film Festival. As Hospitality Chair, she created a welcoming environment and food events that often included her spectacular rugelach. As member of our Screening Committee, she brought a diverse and valued perspective.
Each year Carol and I would attend a major film festival, scouting out films to bring to the Santa Fe JFF. Bathtubs Over Broadway, a paean to the “other Broadway”, was her favorite film at last year’s Palm Springs International Film Festival.
We are pleased to screen this award-winning documentary in celebration of Carol’s life and in her memory. While her life has passed, her legacy with its acts of kindness and generosity remain as does the memory of a most lovely lady who was beautiful both inside and out. And for a special treat, we are sharing the recipe for Carol’s rugelach, the highlight of our many coffee and pastries events. She wanted to share it, and we are doing so here.
