Product descriptionA Child's Celebration of Broadway is part of Music For Little People's Celebration series.Award Winner.A Child's Celebration of Broadway is a tasteful treat for grownups and almost-grownups in addition to being the typically kid-friendly fare brought to the listener by Music for Little People. The classy compilation, rather than being made up of chirpy, dumbed-down renditions, is composed of music from the original cast recordings of such beloved shows asOklahoma!,The Music Man, andThe Sound of Music. Mary Martin brightly sparkles, singing numbers from bothAnnie Get Your Gun andPeter Pan, and the ever dear Julie Andrews contributes a duo as well, including the classic "The Lonely Goatherd" fromThe Sound of Music. With a particularly heavy emphasis on Rodgers and Hammerstein, noted composers in absence are Rodgers and Hart, Sondheim, and Porter. While by no means a complete collection,A Child's Celebration of Broadway is a perfectly sound starting point for little divas and future showboats.--Paige La Grone
