This week – the musicals of 2006
In 2006, a number of popular movies became stage musicals. They included ‘High Fidelity’, ‘The Wedding Singer’ and ‘Mary Poppins’. The big exception was ‘The Drowsy Chaperone’, a modern satiric look at Broadway musicals of an earlier era.
You’ll hear songs from these shows and others including ‘It’s Your Wedding Day’ (from ‘The Wedding Singer’), ‘Show Off’ (‘The Drowsy Chaperone’), ‘Feed The Birds’ (‘Mary Poppins’), ‘Nine Percent Chance’ (‘High Fidelity’).
Performers include Sutton Foster, Bob Martin, Laura Michele Kelly, Christine Ebersole, Stephen Lynch and Lauren Pritchard.
