On January 16, the premiere episode (airing Feb 6 on NBC) will be available on Xfinity On Demand, while their iPad app and XfinityTV.com will carry the episode starting January 23!

And trust me, you'll want to get on-board with this series from the beginning because the behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to bring a Broadway show to life not only features amazing characters but some of the most refreshingly original music to ever grace the small screen.

I've watched the pilot episode eight times and the closing number (Let Me Be Your Star) still gives me chills!
