A Chorus Line of Musicals From our 1970s Record Cabinet - Part 2
Join us for the CONCLUSION of last week's episode.
Today’s episode is a little bit different; normally we’re talking about all the things we had as children. Our records, our books, the TV shows we loved to watch (possibly while our parents were still at work or making dinner or smoking Virginia Slims while they watered the lawn). But the things our parents liked were also a big part of our growing up – and that includes all the Broadway shows from the 60s and the 70s that dominated the charts and broke box office records and filled our living rooms with soaring anthems, heartbreaking ballads, exciting dance numbers, and the occasional reference to t*ts and a$$ (but it was okay! Because it’s BROADWAY!). We didn’t all live in New York City and we didn’t all go see Broadway shows - but still our parents knew and loved the latest Broadway crazes enough to spend their hard-earned money on the soundtracks that came from them. And as a result, these are often the songs we know every word to – because we sang them, loudly, possibly in the backyard while fantasizing about playing Annie on stage. Join us for a surprisingly personal conversation about the music that belonged not just to us – but to our whole families.
