SUMMARY:Broadway Leading Ladies (AM)
DESCRIPTION:Join award-winning\, cultural historian and self-proclaimed Broadway nerd\, Barry Bradford\, for a joyful\, behind-the-scenes journey through the lives and legacies of Broadway’s greatest musical stars. From the golden age of Ethel Merman and Mary Martin to the modern brilliance of Audra McDonald\, Kristin Chenoweth\, Sutton Foster\, and more\, this engaging multimedia presentation shines a spotlight on the women whose talent\, presence\, and unforgettable voices made them household names. \nThrough rare video clips\, personal stories\, and fascinating historical insights\, we’ll explore how each decade produced a defining leading lady—and how some dazzling performers came close. We’ll celebrate both the big names and the underrated greats\, offering a fresh look at what it takes to command a Broadway stage. Along the way\, Barry shares personal encounters with several stars that offer touching glimpses of their humanity offstage. \nWhether you’re a lifelong theater lover or new to the magic of musicals\, this program promises laughter\, inspiration\, and perhaps a few surprises. You’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for the performers who defied gravity\, belted to the rafters\, and left everything on the stage. \nCOST\nThe program is available for a minimum contribution of $5.00\, which helps support my work and allows me to continue offering engaging content. \nPAYMENT OPTIONS \nCash/Check\nPayable to: Barry Bradford\nMail to:\nBarry Bradford\nP.O.
