Broadway is coming to the small town of Millersburg, Pennsylvania in MGM+’s new comedy series, American Classic. The show follows Kevin Kline as Richard Bean, a musical theater star who is forced to return to his roots after a public outburst. He reunites with his brother, Jon, for their mother’s funeral, deciding that the best way to honor her is to revamp the family-owned theater.

Alongside Kline, American Classic stars Laura Linney, Jon Tenney, Len Cariou, Nell Verlaque, Jessica Hecht, Tony Shalhoub, Ajay Friese, Billy Carter, Elise Kibler, Jane Alexander, Stephen Spinella, and Aaron Tveit. That Hashtag Show sat down with Tenney and Verlaque to break down the hilarious family dynamic at play and what to expect as the season continues.

Tenney shared the reality about his character’s relationship with his brother and more in the new series! You can see our conversation here:

“[Jon] loves his brother, and his brother drives him insane at the same time. So there’s that lovely balance between the two of them. And we both love the same girl, but I got her—Laura Linney’s character, Kristen. The family dynamic is great. It’s a really fun show that way because of the family dynamic.” — Jon Tenney

The first two episodes of American Classic are currently available to stream with new installments airing every Sunday at 9pm ET/PT on MGM+.
