Since it's been raining far too much in real life, we thought it only fair that it rain a bit on the radio, so we've programmed 14 songs about rain and raining from a variety of musicals. -
We're covering 114 years of April Broadway openings on this week's program beginning in 1910 with "Molly May" through one of the nine shows opening this year, "Lempicka." -
We're sampling songs from stage and screen musicals regarding clothing and all sorts of things to "wear" for Easter on this week's progarm. -
This is a program of songs from musicals written by women for Women's History Month. -
This week's program features a variety of songs by and about the Irish beginning in 1906 and running through the 20th and into the 21st century. The "Irish" musicals we'll be featuring are "Juno," "Irene," "Donnybrook," "Finian's Rainbow," and "Eileen." -
We've combined a bit of silliness with calendar art for this week's program as we scheduled fifteen marches from a variety of sources (Broadway, Hollywood, television) to celebrate the month of March - even though none of the marches really have anything to do with the month. -
We're looking at fourteen songs from shows that opened in New York in March that span 112 years of musical theatre history from "The Pink Lady" to the revival of "Sweeney Todd." -
This program is looking at four cast recordings that we purchased over the past 30 years or so and put away for "safe keeping." They recently surfaced when we cleaned (a little), and we thought we'd share them with you while we still knew where they were. -
We're completing our celebration of the stage life of Chita Rivera with songs from some of her later Broadway outings including "Kiss of the Spider Woman," "The Rink," "The Visit," and revivals of "The Mystery of Edwin Drood" and "Nine." -
We lost Chita Rivera in January of last year, and with her death, we've lost one of the last bright lights from the Golden Age of the Broadway musical. This is the first of two programs looking at her six decade long career with songs from as many musicals as we have on recording.
