Lost in Boston
In 1994 the Varese Sarabande label put out a series of recordings titled “Lost in Boston,” which, in this case, referred to songs cut from Broadway shows in their out-of-town tryouts. There was a lot of great material, which we present here.

Unsung Broadway
Not every Broadway show has ended up with an original cast album. In 1994 the Varese Sarabande label put out a series of studio recordings titled “Unsung Broadway,” which included some of the best songs that never made it onto vinyl.

Best of Forbidden Broadway
Forbidden Broadway was a cabaret styled show that spoofed everything and anything Broadway–from musicals themselves, to performers, and trends. The original production opened in January 1982, written and directed by Gerard Alessandrini. Over the years there have been many iterations and Sounds of Broadway has them all.

Best of MGM Movie Musicals
The MGM movie musicals have been the gold standard for movie musicals. We have them all on Sounds of Broadway.

Title Songs
Throughout musical theater history, some of the most memorable show tunes have been a musical’s title song. We’ve gathered a number of them here for your enjoyment.
» 11:00 – 12:00 AM EST (Tuesday)

Overtures
Sadly, an overture is heard less and less on the musical stage, but not here on Sounds of Broadway. We have the best openings, so sit back and enjoy these classic musical theater overtures.
