Great American Standards From Broadway Shows

From "Tea for Two" and "Ol' Man River," to tunes from recent hit musicals like "Wicked" and "Rent," Broadway has been a major pipeline for enduring, best-selling songs. In this class, we will explore 25 standard tunes that have been covered by many popular singers -- from Bing Crosby to the Beatles, from Judy Garland to Lady Gaga -- and consider the shows they are from, the stories behind the songs, and the way different performers have interpreted and reinterpreted since they were first heard on Broadway stages. The class will include many film and audio clips, and ideas for further listening and watching.
