Description
Broadway Showstoppers Vol. 1 is a CD compilation drawing from the golden era of the American musical, gathering twelve numbers from some of the most beloved shows ever to grace the stage. The selections span a wide dramatic and stylistic range — from the operatic fireworks of ‘Glitter And Be Gay’ from Bernstein’s Candide to the buoyant charm of ‘Put On A Happy Face’ from Bye Bye Birdie and the wistful Irish lilt of ‘How Are Things In Glocca Morra?’ from Finian’s Rainbow. Rarer gems like ‘He Had Refinement’ from A Tree Grows In Brooklyn sit alongside perennial favourites such as ‘Do Re Mi’ from The Sound of Music, making this CD a rewarding listen for both casual fans and dedicated theatre enthusiasts…
