		<title>A Little Night Music &#8211; The 2009 Revival</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It has been over thirty years since the original &#8220;A Little Night Music&#8221; opened on Broadway.  It was the first show I saw on Broadway and left an indelible mark on me.  One of the highlights of that production,  for me,  was &#8220;A Weekend In The Country&#8221; at the end of the first act.   As [...]]]></description>

		<title>Promises, Promises &#8211; New Broadway Cast Recording</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have always loved this show and its music.  For a long time there was no CD available and now both the original and a new cast recording are there for you.  The Burt Bacharach and Hal David  collaboration from the late 50s until their break-up in 1973 provided us with a decade of hit [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finian&#8217;s Rainbow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have always loved Finian&#8217;s Rainbow.   I was thrilled when they decided to revive it on Broadway in 2009 following its success as part of the New York City Center &#8220;Encores.&#8221;   I assumed that I would have time to get to New York to see it, but alas, it closed early.  Fortunate for [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Sound of Music at 50</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is hard to believe that The Sound of Music is 50 years old.  It is even harder to believe that when the show opened in 1959 seats sold for $5.  The first release of the original cast recording took place within weeks of the opening of the show on vinyl.   Since then it has [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rise Stevens as Mrs. Anna in The King and I</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As the Producing Director of the newly formed Lincoln Center Musical Theater (1964), Richard Rodgers decided to produce as his first production,  The King and I.  Rodgers definitely had a soft spot for operatic voices in the lead roles of his musicals, and for this production, he chose Rise Stevens.  Stevens had been one of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shrek the Musical</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Shrek the Movie has had a long and successful run.  That run helps make Shrek the Musical a success, but it also acts as a limiting factor on the score,  the musical itself and this cast recording.  This show will make those who know Shrek the Movie happy because it so closely follows the movie [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hair &#8211; 2009 Revival Cast Recording</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When Hair first appeared in 1968 it was seen as a social statement and not fully viewed as a Broadway musical filled with great musical numbers.  It made political statements, racial statements, and religious statements.  It addressed the use of re recreational drugs, especially marijuana, in talked about inter-racial sex and it presented the entire [...]]]></description>

		<title>Company &#8211; The Perfect Cast Recording</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Company is one of my all time favorite shows.  I have seen it performed many times and I never tire of seeing it.  However, trying to pick the best cast recording from the recordings available is another matter.  There are three American recordings.  The 1970 original cast recording featured Dean Jones as  Bobby and Elaine [...]]]></description>
