Janusz Józefowicz, choreograf, reżyser, legenda teatru musicalowego w Polsce. Ale może za wcześnie na nazywanie go legendą? Na pewno legendarne jest to, że to on jest autorem tekstu słynnego „Rolowania” Nataszy Urbańskiej, to on wyhaczył na dyskotece tańczącego Michała Milowicza i to on pił z Rogerem Watersem z Pink Floyd. Ile jeszcze opowieści skrywają początku musicalu w Polsce? Dlaczego Edyta Górniak zapomniała przyjść na spektakl i nie miała z tego tytułu żadnych konsekwencji? Czy Paweł Kukiz dobrze poradził sobie na castingu do „Metra”? Rozmawiamy również o lędzinach (a może rędzinach?), słynnych filmach, w jakich zagrał i niezwykłych podróżach, jakie odbył (naprawdę brzmią jak opis filmu akcji). Kim byłby Janusz Józefowicz, gdyby nie obejrzał filmu „Hair” Miloša Formana? Tego się nie dowiemy. Ale kim jest człowiek, który stworzył w Polsce pierwszy teatr musicalowy?
