PROGRAMMING
FOR APRIL


April 4-5
APRIL SHOWERS
AND RAIN SONGS

We've been getting April showers, so songs that mention rain get served up on this performance, including tracks from "The Fantasticks," "Dames at Sea" and "110 in the Shade." There's also a classic song from "Two By Two," the musical about Noah and the ark that starred Danny Kaye.

April 11-12
LONDON CALLS,
BBH ANSWERS

The music library has many London cast recordings in addition to those from Broadway. On this performance, the spotlight is on music from across the pond, everything from "Barnum, "Billy Elliott" and "Bye Bye Birdie" to "The Phantom of the Opera," "Starlight Express" and "We Will Rock You."

April 18-19
BEST OF
BROADAY

No theme. No guest. Just The Best of Broadway. That means music from current Broadway shows with some classic songs sprinkled in as well as he latest Broadway news. We'll also look back at some Broadway history and celebrate some Broadway birthdays, and a hear a song by a guy who had a birthday on the same day that his hit Broadway musical opened back in 2002.

April 25-26
TV STARS ON
BROADWAY

The spotlight is on the Broadway work of performers better known for appearing on television, such as Lucille Ball, who starred on Broadway in "Wildcat". Besides hearing the likes of Dick Van Dyke, Victor Garber and Kristen Chenoweth, expect some surprises.
