Episode 37. Golden Age Repertoire Suggestions from FIORELLO!
/Hey friends, in today’s episode we are talking repertoire suggestions from the rarely done (yet Pulitzer prize winning) musical, Fiorello! (1959).
From the writing team of Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick (also Fiddler on the Roof and She Loves Me), this Golden Age show has a score that alternates between brassy, energetic uptempo numbers and string-driven bittersweet ballads. Throughout all the songs, there is wit, humor, and emotional depth, and totally relatable POLITICAL COMMENTARY!
I’ll share the specific songs that you can pull out for audition material and cabaret shows as well as the ensemble numbers you can use with your college and high school students.
I hope this helps you find some Golden Age material that feels fresh and not overdone!
Xo,
Korrie
