In the spirit of the season of renewal and resurrection, we look at some of the amazing comebacks on the Broadway stage. Performers such as Lotte Lenya, Lauren Bacall, Julie Andrews, Ethel Merman (in a rare recording of Hello, Dolly!) as well as writers such as Oscar Hammerstein, Leonard Bernstein, and Mel Brooks.
