| In the Golden Age of Broadway, Ethel Merman
was the Queen of Broadway. She sang all the great songs, played all the great
plays and knew all the great personalities! "Ethel Merman's Broadway"
recreates a theatrical era filled with charm, wit, personality, and most of all,
wonderful music. This smash Off-Broadway hit has had a remarkable run, its national
tour garnering rave reviews. The words and music of Cole Porter, George and Ira
Gershwin, Jule Styne and Irving Berlin come alive in the incomparable style of
Ethel Merman. "There's No Business Like Show Business," "I Got
Rhythm," and "Everything's Coming Up Roses" are only a few of the
numbers in this musical salute to the golden age of American Musical Theatre.
Rita McKenzie weaves the songs that made Ethel Merman famous into a journey through
an era which will forever be remembered as one of Broadway's finest hours! |
