Synopsis

Album Description
?Broadway: Love & Laughter? is terrific. Singer/actress Eileen Mager performs twenty-three of the greatest songs from Broadway musicals in a way you won?t soon forget. There are some real oldies, as well as more current songs, and everything from tear-jerkers to laugh riots. They have great lyrics (and you?ll understand all the words) and great tunes. She?ll have you laughing and crying and having a ball. Ellen Brown?s accompaniments offer just the right touch -- for example, ?Little Girl Blue? has a great blues sound to it. This is a CD not to be missed, and perfect gift for friends and family. Broadway musicals have always been about love in its infinite forms. This has resulted in a huge crop of wonderful love songs ? joyous, sad, flirtatious, angry, passionate, mischievous, touching. They range from the deeply serious to the out and-out hilarious, as, come to think of it, does love itself. So in this recording, West Side Story?s Maria proclaims her joy in ?I Feel Pretty? and South Pacific?s Nellie Forbush displays similar feelings in ?A Wonderful Guy.? We also have Guys & Dolls?s Adelaide singing ?Adelaide?s Lament? about the cold she?s developed because of the frustration of a 14-year engagement to Nathan Detroit that seems destined never to result in a wedding. Pal Joey?s Vera, a sophisticated ?older? woman, who knows Joey isn?t worth it, sings about finding herself nonetheless ?Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered.? Of course, Kate of Kiss Me, Kate, in no uncertain terms, announces ?I Hate Men,? while Oklahoma?s irrepressible Ado Annie sings ?I Cain?t Say No.? On the Town?s lady taxi driver, Hildy, tries to convince us of her total desirability with the madcap seduction of ?I Can Cook, Too,? while Sally of Follies sings of her total immersion in her love in one of Broadway?s most touching love songs, ?Losing My Mind.?
