Stairway to Stardom wasn’t just a public access TV show—it was a low-budget fever dream of sequins, synths, and sheer determination. Airing in New York from the late ’70s through the ’80s, it gave aspiring singers, dancers, and comedians their moment under the studio lights—no matter how off-key, offbeat, or off-script they were. This is where raw ambition met homemade glamour, and the result was unforgettable.
