"Broadway Today"
review by Ed Vincent
"Oak Park Journal Highly Recommended"

Broadway Hits from Today is an incredible selection of
show tunes from New York's theaters, many that premiered
right here in Chicago.  Many are Tony winners and all were
hits with the audiences that heard them.  This is a truly great
selection of some the best tunes from our current time in theater.  Many of these shows that have been here in Chicago
are headed back and others are on their way next year.  Buy
the album and perhaps you can audition as a supernumerary
(extra) when the shows open here.
