Musical Monday...errr...Tuesday

Hello and hi. This week brings yet another Best Musical nominated show, a revue, in fact, to our beloved Musical Monday series. This musical has quite the writing team attached to it, and in the 1995-1996 season, Broadway was blessed with some Johnny Burke awesome-ness. Here we go!

Musical Monday date: 2/5/2019

Musical: Swinging on a Star

Book, Music, and Lyrics: Michael Leeds, Johnny Burke and Joe Bushkin and Erroll Garner and Robert Haggart and Arthur Johnston and James Monaco and Harold Spina and Jimmy Van Heusen, and Johnny Burke

Broadway Run: October 22, 1995 - January 13, 1996

Awards Won: 1996 Theatre World Award for Michael McGrath

Other: Swinging on a Star’s only Tony nomination was for Best Musical. They received four Drama Desk nominations, including Outstanding Featured Actor and Actress in a Musical, for Michael McGrath and Kathy Fitzgerald, respectively.

Fun Fact: Swinging on a Star served as Kathleen Marshall’s first Broadway lead choreographic credit, for which she received a Drama Desk nomination. She had previously assisted on Kiss of the Spider Woman (1993), She Loves Me (1993 revival), and Damn Yankees (1994 revival).

There is a cast recording for your listening pleasure, if a Johnny Burke revue suits your fancy, that is. Next week we will continue our journey through the 1996 awards, truly a season of love. Until then, go see a show!
