A Frank Loesser hidden gem, "Where's Charley" is a hilariously sweet musical with one hit song that will have you swooning and singing along in minutes! Based on the British farce "Charley's Aunt", this complicated love story debuted on Broadway in 1948 to a delighted audience!

Ep 14 – Cry For Us All

From the music writer of “Man of La Mancha”, Mitch Leigh, based on the critically acclaimed play “Hogan’s Goat”, we bring you “Cry For Us All”. A dramatic musical telling the stories of Irish immigrants living in Brooklyn in the late 1800’s. Somehow this hefty beast of a show was on Broadway at the same time as Hair and 1776, which is something to marvel at. Grab your tissues and tune in for a truly wonderful ride.

Ep 13 – Rex

Before Six was even a twinkle in the imagination of the West End, there was Rex. A musical about Henry VIII (and a couple of his wives) that was brought to Broadway with the legendary Richard Rodgers as the composer and Sheldon Harnick (Fiddler on the Roof, She Loves Me) writing the lyrics. This show has been forgotten to time, but we think his story needs to come to a head. (You know we had to!)

Ep 12 – Wildcat

A virgin to the Broadway stage, Lucille Ball stars in Wildcat! This unrefined gem was the product of Broadway legends Cy Coleman, Carolyn Leigh, and N. Richard Nash. They struck oil with the hit number "Hey, Look Me Over" but reviews declared the show crude nonetheless. See what all the drilling is about, hear Lucy sing, and stop us from making anymore oil puns in this description!

Happy Holidays, here’s a Flahooley! Don’t know what that is? Don’t fret, just tune in for a show full of magic, puppets, love, and capitalism! What could be more Christmasy than that? Written by the team that brought you Finnian’s Rainbow, this 1951 show stars Yma Sumac singing in her signature exotica style as well as a young Barbara Cook among the talented cast!

A celebrated writing team: Comden & Green (Applause, On the Town), Arthur Laurents (Gypsy, West Side Story), Jule Styne (Funny Girl, Peter Pan).

Take a listen and let us know what you think!
