GIVE MY REGARDS TO BROADWAY

“Another Opening, Another Show,” “Broadway Baby,” and “Lullaby of Broadway”— Like Tin Pan Alley, Hollywood, and even Motown, Broadway has long been a central part of our musical culture and a major source of memorable songs–songs that cut across time and place.

”Can’t Help Lovin’ Dat Man” from Showboat; “They Say It’s Wonderful” from Annie Get Your Gun; “Too Darn Hot” from Kiss Me Kate; “Something’s Coming” from West Side Story; "Try to Remember" from The Fantasticks; "Sunrise, Sunset" from Fiddler On the Roof; “Castle on a Cloud” from Les Miz. And the list goes on and on and on and on and on.

It was on Broadway where incredible talents emerged and defined the times in words and music–Jerome Kern, Oscar Hammerstein, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, Lorenz Hart, George and Ira Gershwin, Richard Rodgers, Kurt Weill, Alan Jay Lerner, Frank Loesser, Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim, Cy Coleman, Andrew Lloyd Webber. And the list goes on and on and on and on and on.

Although the theatres have changed, the composers have changed, and the shows have changed, the Broadway tradition has survived and flourished. Join Bobbi Carrey and Will McMillan for a walk down “The Great White Way,” as we revive ballads, comedy songs and showstoppers from the best of Broadway.
