Broadway Revisited

Saturdays, 1pm

Program Website: http://kzoo.edu/~ahilgart/Bwy.htm

Host Art Hilgart presents words and music of American Broadway musical theater from Kern to Sondheim. Some programs revisit a single show, while others offer variations on a theme. Since 1991, Broadway Revisited has sought to share the pleasure of popular songs that constitute one of our significant national art forms.

April 26
Dave Frishberg and Ann Hampton Callaway. Two singer-songwriters who would be on Broadway if there were still sophisticated revues.

May 3
The Shows of Charles Strouse. Annie, Bye Bye Birdie, and more.
