Ep 204: BROADWAY'S DOUBLE SONGS, part 3

This is the third and final segment of my conversation with Albert Evans, in which we explore the Double Songs of Broadway, which, as you will hear, have an incredibly long and action-packed history stretching from the earliest decades of the Broadway musical right up to today.

Today we explore how this show-stopping song-form made its way from the Golden Age to the Modern Era of Broadway via songwriters such as Jerry Herman, Leonard Bernstein, Bock & Harnick, Kander and Ebb, Maltby and Shire, Stephen Schwartz, Stephen Sondheim, Marvin Hamlisch, Alan Menken, Duncan Sheik, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and more in their musicals Follies, Godspell, The Magic Show, Dear World, A Little Night Music, Little Mary Sunshine, Fiddler on the Roof, West Side Story, 70 Girls 70, A Chorus Line, Spring Awakening, Wicked, In the Heights,
