Musicals Yearbook” will be heard on Artsound FM 92.7 at 5pm on Sunday 19
December and repeated at 11pm on Monday 20 December. The show is produced and narrated by Len

This week – the musicals of 1992
1992 produced ‘Crazy For You’, a new Gershwin musical with famous vintage songs and ‘March of the Falsettos’ which dealt with bisexuality. There was also ‘Jelly’s Last Jam’, a fascinating and, at times, confronting look at black composer, Jelly Roll Morton, and ‘My Favorite Year’, based on the popular movie of the same name.
Songs in this program include ‘But Not For Me’ (‘Crazy For You’), ‘I Never Wanted to Love You’ (‘March of the Falsettos’), ‘That’s How You Jazz’ (‘Jelly’s Last Jam’) and the title song of ‘My Favorite Year’.
Performers include Gregory Hines, Jodie Benson, Clarke Peters, Michael Rupert and Lainie Kazan.
