My Best Guess: Classic movie musicals and the brightest stars on the musical stage share the spotlight on Broadway's Best, bring to your Sirius dial everything from classic Rodgers & Hammerstein to Sondheim to Andrew Lloyd Webber.According to Sirius: You're front row center for the greatest hits of Broadway! All your favorite show tunes sung by the stars of the musical stage, bringing Broadway to every street in America.
Curt's Rebuttal: Fair enough, but there were songs from movie musicals, too. Just for the record.
Sample Playlist:
- Stephanie Mills & Hinton Battle (The Wiz Original Broadway Cast), Ease on Down the Road
- Les Miserables Original Broadway Cast, One Day More
- Donna Kane (Meet Me in St. Louis Original Broadway Cast), The Trolley Song
- Alfred J. Drake (Oklahoma! Original Cast Album), Oklahoma!
- Marilyn Cooper & Chita Rivera (West Side Story Original Broadway Cast), America
- Julie Andrews (Mary Poppins Soundtrack), A Spoonful of Sugar
Verdict: Surprisingly, I bookmarked this. I guess the thing I liked about this channel (and I was actually on it for two days, as I was too tired to review it last night) was that each song gives you a glimpse into a larger story, and as you hear more songs from that same musical, the story kind of comes together. I don't know...kinda like a little audio jigsaw puzzle.

I like this channel too, mostly for the occasional song from Big River.
I am curious what you have on your Artist and Song alerts. I only have three spots left!
