Do you know who played Maria in the Sound of Music on Broadway ? (Hint – it wasn’t Julie Andrews) Do you know why Bonnie Raitt’s father was almost as well-known in the 40s and 50s as his illustrious daughter is today? Do you know who wrote the lyrics to West Side Story? (Hint: it wasn’t Leonard Bernstein)
The answers to these questions and much more can be found by tuning in to the Broadway Project. The Broadway Project is not a
chronological history of Broadway that’s been donebefore. Rather, host Liz Olds takes us through topics such as Shall We Dance?, lists and twists, Our Fair Ladies, Sex and Other Sins, and more. From the Ziegfield Follies to Wicked to even flops you’ve never heard of, The Broadway Project is full of the stories, the music, and the people of 42nd Street.
Four years in the making including a huge break (need we say COVID?) KFAI is happy to present The Broadway Project – just click on the link for Episode 3!
