Description
On her new recording, Broadway icon and two time Tony winner, Betty Buckley reinterprets classic Broadway songs that were originally made famous by men.
Ah, Men! The Boys of Broadway features men's songs from Broadway shows that Buckley has always wanted to sing, including numbers from Sweeney Todd, West Side Story, Guys and Dolls, Pippin, The Fantasticks and more. The centerpiece of the new album is "A Hymn to Her," a rewrite of My Fair Lady's "A Hymn to Him" in which Henry Higgins asks "Why Can't a Woman be More Like A Man?" The prolific singer reverses the question in a witty retort complete with musical references to iconic male Broadway roles including Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof, Harold Hill in A Musical Man and Jean Val Jean in Les Miserables.
Betty Buckley is appearing in "Dear World" with Paul Nicholas at the Charing Cross Theartre from the 4th February 2013 until the 30th March.
