The Movie Themes of Alan and Marilyn Bergman

Good eeeevening....! Our annual Halloween broadcast hosted by Count Larry Maslon, offers a slice of the homicidal maniacs who roam the Broadway musical like crazy: Sweeney Todd, the Phantom, Anthony Perkins and much more.

We're crossing off items on our Bucket List with fantastic performances on the musical stage by the late great dame, Patricia Routledge. Songs by Styne, Bernstein, Coward, Rodgers, Sir Arthur Sullivan and numerous West End rarities.

To tee up the release of Merrily's screen capture, we look forward to a broad overview of Sondheim's wonderful score. Renditions from Frank Sinatra, Julie Andrews, Lin-Manuel Miranda and various cast albums. 

Almost every great show has a clunker; here are the ones that just don't work--for me--from Sunday in the Park, Carousel, Cabaret, Phantom of the Opera and more.

The great Mel Tormé served up the Broadway show tune songbook like a master; we're joined by another master, Eric Comstock, to celebrate Tormé's 100th birthday; songs from Pal Joey, City of Angels, Carnival and so much more.

Broadway loves its entertainers center stage--real or imagined. Join us for a front-row seat for Bobby Darin, Fanny Brice, the Marx Brothers, Tina Turner, Conrad Birdie and many more.

We're joined by Ira's biographer, Michael Owen, for a 'swonderful overview of his fascinating career. Performances by Ella Fitzgerald, Tony Bennett, Kelli O'Hara, Fred Astaire and many more.

Rosemary Clooney, that is. One of our greatest singers, with an entire program dedicated to her and songs from The Pajama Game, Merrily We Roll Along, Gypsy, Oh Captain!, and many more.

Memories, lighting the corners of our mind--our annual soundtrack episode, featuring the unforgettable lyrics by the Bergmans and movie themes sung by Barbra Streisand, Tony Bennett, Ray Charles, Sarah Vaughan and many others.

The singular sensation celebrates its 50th Anniversary and we *finally* get around to showcasing its amazing Hamlisch/Kleban score. The original cast plus Tony Bennett, Barbra Streisand, Eydie Gormé, and more.
