TORONTO'S AM 740 TO DROP PROGRAM An ownership change at Toronto's AM 740 will result in Broadway's Biggest Hits disappearing from the airwaves over much of Ontario and western New York in late June. Program director Gene Stevens explained that the station plans to up its commitment to local content, and that Broadway's Biggest Hits will be a victim of that commitment. Thanks to AM 740 for valuing the show for so long, and thanks to the tens of thousands of listeners who have made the show a weekly habit. UPCOMING SHOWS May 3-4 NEW RELEASES SPOTLIGHTED Some Broadway stars have new solo CDs and they get spotlighted this weekend. We'll enjoy new tracks by Kelli O'Hara, Karen Akers, Karen Mason and Christine Ebersole as well as recall some Broadway history with songs from "Sweet Charity" and "The Most Happy Fella." May 10-11 SHOW NOTCHES 500TH PERFORMANCE It has taken nearly 10 years to get to this point, but Broadway's Biggest Hits reaches a milestone this weekend with its 500th performance. We'll mark the occasion with some interview snippets from some of the great guests who have appeared on the show. May 17-18 THE BEST OF BROADWAY No theme. No guest. Just The Best of Broadway - songs from the present and the past, along with Broadway news. Coming Soon A SITDOWN WITH "BERT" Gavin Lee has starred both in London and on Broadway as Bert in "Mary Poppins," and the role has changed his life. He sits down in his dressing room at the New Amsterdam Theatre to talk about the part and the logistics involved in pulling it off. HAVE A REQUEST? WE'LL PLAY IT!
