The Broadway Musicals of 1949

(Various) (RNBW035)

Off-Broadway Cast with Scott Coulter, Cady Huffman, Nancy Lemenager, Noah Racey, Marla Schaffel, Martin Vidnovic, Lennie Watts, Robert Westenberg, and Special Guest Karen Ziemba. Created, written and hosted by Scott Siegel. Recorded live at New York Town Hall Monday April 19, 2004. Includes songs from SOUTH PACIFIC (Richard Rodgers/Oscar Hammerstein 2), GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES (Jule Styne/Leo Robin), LOST IN THE STARS (Kurt Weill/Maxwell Anderson), MISS LIBERTY (Irving Berlin), TEXAS LIL’ DARLIN’ (Johnny Mercer/Robert Emmett Dolan), REGINA (Marc Blitzstein), and first time recordings from ALONG FIFTH AVENUE (Various), TOUCH AND GO (Jay Gorney/Jean Kerr/Walter Kerr), and ALL FOR LOVE (Alan Roberts/Lester Lee).


“Karen Ziemba’s take on South Pacific’s ‘A Wonderful Guy’ ranks among the best I have ever seen or heard and her unamplified rendition of ‘A Cockeyed Optimist’ was equally stunning…Martin Vidnovic powerfully performed every one of his numbers off-mike, ‘Lost In The Stars,’ ‘This Nearly Was Mine’ and an especially inspired interpretation of ‘Some Enchanted Evening.”
