1940's Radio Hour - December 2008 |
|
World War II Holiday Musical with great 1940's music! A different time is evoked in this marvelously theatrical and winning show, a live broadcast of a The Mutual Manhattan Variety Cavalcade from the Hotel Astor's Algonquin Room on December 21, 1942. The spirit of that bygone era when the world was at war and pop music meant "Strike Up the Band" and "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" is accurately captured as the harassed producer copes with a drunk lead singer, the delivery boy who wants a chance in front of the mike, the second banana who dreams of singing a ballad, and the trumpet player man who chooses a fighter plane over Glenn Miller.
Shows: December 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13, 18, 19th and 20th at 8 pm and December 7th and 14th at 2 pm (Saturday night closing)
