Best of Broadway


Sundays from 2 to 3 p.m.
Hosted by Mark Henderson

Best of Broadway celebrates the "Great White Way."  From Angela Lansbury and Ethel Merman to Rex Harrison and Mandy Patinkin, the show features performances by great stage performers and composers.  The show frequently follows a theme, but sometimes Mark just tries to surprise with music from a variety of shows.

From the venerable Show Boat to modern classics such as Les Miserables and Ragtime, Best of Broadway covers more than 70 years of theatre magic..
