John captivates with songs from the Golden Age of the American Musical and never-before-heard stories of working with friends Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor, Julie Andrews, and more. An Accidental Star is a rare opportunity to revisit the making of some of Broadway’s greatest shows, and the funny, moving, and fascinating encounters John had along the way.
