This week – the musicals of 1948
Ray Bolger starred on Broadway in 1948 in Frank Loesser’s ‘Where’s Charley?’, Nancy Walker had audiences laughing at ‘Look Ma, I’m Dancin’ and Beatrice Lillie capered through a musical revue, ‘Inside USA’. Then there was Cole Porter’s masterpiece, ‘Kiss Me, Kate’, which has just been performed here by Queanbeyan Players. You’ve heard the local singers, now hear the Broadway originals!
Songs in this program include ‘Brush Up Your Shakespeare’

Special Face’ (Alfred Drake), ‘At The Mardi Gras’ (Beatrice Lillie), ‘I'm the
First Girl In the Second Row’ (Nancy Walker) and ‘Once In Love With Amy’ (Ray
