“There will be
the well-known shows such as The Addams Family, Damn Yankees, Little Shop
of Horrors, The Phantom of the Opera, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and Young
Frankenstein,” said Stuart Brown, who launched the radio station last
April. “But there will also be a number of little-known musicals I’ll be
playing selections from such as Bunnicula, The Brain from Planet X, Death
Takes a Holiday, Faust, and Zombie Prom. In all, there will
be almost three dozen shows that will be included in the programming.”
“These types of shows are very popular,” said
Brown, who is a member of the Outer Critics Circle and President of the
Connecticut Critics Circle. “Running on Broadway right now is Beetlejuice,
Hadestown, and Phantom and the just opened Off-Broadway revival of Little
Shop of Horrors. There’s even a touch of Halloween in Mean Girls
where the first line of the song “Sexy” is “If I could change the world, I’d
make it Halloween.”Sounds of Broadway offers the most wide-ranging listing of music from the Off-Broadway, Broadway, and London stages. Thousands of songs from hundreds of cast recordings are in rotation, with new shows added weekly. “My last count was 4,300 songs from over 540 musicals,” he said. “I feature popular and classic shows like Wicked, My Fair Lady, and Hamilton,” stated the Connecticut resident. “But, unlike other online radio stations, I’ve included selections from more obscure or little heard of shows. I want the station to entertain, but I also want to teach people about musical theater history.”
