4/5. Humphrey Burton presents excerpts from Mass (1971), the Jerome Robbins ballet the Dybbuk (1974) and 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue (1976), Bernstein's ill-fated collaboration with Alan Jay Lerner.
Among today's guests are the composer's daughter, Jamie Bernstein Thomas, who has performed in Mass, and Patricia Routledge, who played the First Lady in the original production of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, which she described as a diamond studded dinosaur.
