Broadway:
America's Music : a compact and eminently entertaining history of high
points from many of the legendary shows that made the Great White Way great.
Drawing on one song per score, this six-CD set moves with breathtaking ease,
covering the shows that signaled the maturation of the musical, including
Oklahoma!, Porgy and Bess, Pal Joey, and Annie Get Your Gun; the golden age
of Broadway in the 1940s, '50s and '60s (The King and I, Guys and Dolls, She
Loves Me, Bye Bye Birdie, Oliver!); the influx of grand British imports (Cats,
Les Misérables, Miss Saigon); and contemporary blockbusters like Rent,
Wicked, The Boy from Oz, and Mama Mia! -- with plenty of invigorating stops
along the way. In all, it’s a thrilling ride that paints a multicolored
vista of the still-glittering glories of Broadway’s fabled productions.
The
Best of Broadway: The American Musical : No one is going to witness theatrical
legends like Al Jolson, Ethel Merman, Alfred Drake, Mary Martin, and Zero
Mostel (or, most likely, such contemporary vocal giants as Barbra Streisand
or Julie Andrews) on a Broadway stage ever again, but thankfully, great performances
from all of these stars, and more, have been captured. Click the link to preview
the track selection.
Broadway's
Greatest Leading Men : Broadway's Greatest Leading Men delivers just what
the title promises. Robert Alda's "Luck Be a Lady," Richard Kiley's
"The Impossible Dream," Colm Wilkinson's "Bring Him Home,"
and Murray Head's "One Night in Bangkok" are among the highlights
of this collection, which also features performances by Alfred Drake, Burl
Ives, Anthony Newley, Joel Gray, and Ben Vereen.
Broadway
Divas : Unfortunately containing the vastly overused "D" word
in its title, RCA Victor's Broadway Divas, one of a series of releases to
commemorate the label's 100th anniversary, is a compilation of recordings
by musical actresses culled from RCA's vast catalog of show music. Click the
Link to see the track listing and hear samples of each.
