THE BROADWAY MUSICALS YEARBOOK 1994

“The Broadway Musicals Yearbook” will be heard on Artsound FM 92.7 at 5pm on Sunday 17 April and repeated at 11pm on Monday 18 April.  The show is produced and narrated by Len Power, Canberra theatre critic, music critic and radio presenter.

This week – the musicals of 1994

Two musicals with staying power opened on Broadway in 1994 - Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ‘Sunset Blvd’ and Disney’s ‘Beauty And The Beast’.  Stephen Sondheim’s ‘Passion’ was an artistic success but lightning did not strike twice with ‘The Best Little Whorehouse Goes Public’, a sequel to the immensely popular 1978 show, ‘The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas’.

You’ll hear songs from these shows and others including ‘Be Our Guest’ (from ‘Beauty And The Beast’), ‘Happiness’ (‘Passion’), ‘With One Look’ (‘Sunset Blvd’) and ‘I’m Leavin’ Texas’ (‘The Best Little Whorehouse Goes Public’).

Performers include Patti Lupone, Donna Murphy, Dee Hoty, Gary Beach and Marin Mazzie.
