This week – the musicals of 1973
In 1973, Lerner and Loewe’s ‘Gigi’ made the transition from
film to stage. ‘Seesaw’ celebrated life
in New York City. The play, ‘A Raisin In
the Sun’, was musicalized as ‘Raisin’ and Stephen Sondheim’s ‘A Little Night
Music’ premiered.
Songs in this program include ‘The Night They Invented Champagne’ (‘Gigi’), ‘It’s Not Where You Start’ (‘Seesaw’), ‘Measure The Valleys’ (‘Raisin’) and ‘Send In The Clowns’ (A Little Night Music’).
