This week – the musicals of 1910
In 1910, two operettas opened on Broadway - ‘Naughty Marietta’ and ‘The Arcadians’. Both would remain popular for decades to come. Fanny Brice first appeared in a Ziegfeld show, ‘Follies Of 1910’, and ‘Madame Sherry’ was a big hit, introducing songs still known today.
You’ll hear songs from all of these shows and others including ‘Every Little Movement Has A Meaning All Its Own’, ‘Put Your Arms Around Me, Honey’, ‘Ah! Sweet Mystery Of Life’, ‘Chinatown, My Chinatown’, ‘Has Anybody Here Seen Kelly?’ and ‘I’m Falling In Love With Someone’.
Performers include June Bronhill, John McCormack, Nora Bayes, Billy Murray, Blanche Ring, Bert Williams, Dorothy Kirsten and Andy Cole.
