Product Description
Broadway has been for more than a century, the hometown street of the American popular song, where the songs were born, then beamed around the world.
“Beamed” is not a bad way to describe how these songs reached their audience. Consider Ethel Merman, whose voice had more brass than the Marine Band. When Irving Berlin was writing “There’s No Business Like Show Business” for Annie Get Your Gun, he was writing for that quintessential Broadway voice – the belter, whose stentorian tones could reach far beyond the upper balcony.
Berlin was just one of the composers who, like Rodgers and Hammerstein, Adler and Ross, Lerner and Loewe, set the high standard for the Broadway show. It’s not only the songs, but also the outstanding performances that bring something special to Broadway. There are the great singers like Julie Anderws, Nathan Lane who won a Tony playing the madcap impresario in The Producers.
A must have for those who know and love broadway and perfect for those who want to learn more about it.
