Broadway's Biggest Hits

 

 

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.

SHOW NOTCHES
500TH PERFORMANCE

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.

Chris Curcio

Sweeney Todd "SWEENEY" IS SUPERB,
OTHERS MUCH WORSE

There have been many new CD releases over the past month or so and critic Chris Curcio has spent countless hours listening to them. While he loves the movie soundtsrack to "Sweeney Todd" and the latest "Forbidden Broadway" spoof, "The Little Mermaid, "Young Frankenstein" "Xanadu" don't fair as well. Read what Curcio has to say about all the recent releases on the CD Reviews page. NEW!
