Before TMZ and Gawker, there was Bob Harrison's Confidential Magazine. Its scandal and showbiz fizz went viral, fab '50s style, outselling TV Guide and Time Magazine. But scrape away the hype, whipped cream and dirt, and what do you have? A mostly true story about heart, innocence, and family loyalty, set to a sexy, swinging, Big Broadway beat. But shhh! Keep it confidential...

In 1952, Bob Harrison dreams up Confidential Magazine. As part of a tight-knit family, he works with older sister, Edith, and her kids Michael and Marjorie -- who trades her life as a young wife and mother for a chance to be Bob's right hand in the business.

Bob's creation is born of his own need to matter in the world. But he grows obsessed and enthralled by its spectacular success. Confidential's mix of juicy true stories about Hollywood and Broadway stars, society swells and Washington big-shots soon dwarfs everything else around, with each issue selling over five million copies by 1957.

His dazzling rise, desperate fall and spectacular comeback take Bob to a triumph that's beyond even his own imagination. Bob's girlfriend Jeannie is at the center of everything glamorous he hopes to build. His nemesis is his own hire, a red-baiting writer named Howard Rushmore. In the end, Bob must choose between fantasy and reality; family and infamy; legacy and longing.

CONFIDENTIAL co-starsAmy Bodnar as Jeannie Douglas, Erin Leigh Peck as Marjorie Meade and Paul Michael Valley as Howard Rushmore, and features Jane Blass, Joshua Dixon, Tony Award nominee Willy Falk, Badia Farha, James LaRosa, Michael Marotta, Rachel Alexa Norman, Elyssa Samsel and Aléna Watters.
