Chicago Spin on “Something Wonderful” book by Todd Purdum

In the post-WWII era, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein reinvented American Musical Theater for a modern audience.

This is my audio podcast review of the book by Todd S. Purdum, “Something Wonderful Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Broadway Revolution” by Todd S. Purdum.

I’ve taken a short trip down memory lane to give it a Chicago spin by including my personal relationship with their works that I enjoyed as a child actor and as a student of the theater. Also, some references to Chicago people and places that are mentioned in the book or that relate to the content.
