My Vaudeville Man 2010


About the Album: Karen Murphy and Shonn Wiley star in My Vaudeville Man!, the story of a boy born to dance and the mother who fought to keep him home! This "Pitch Perfect Musical" (NYTheatre.com), based on the life of legendary eccentric tap dancer Jack Donahue (played by Ray Bolger on film) and his mother who fights to keep her son off the wicked vaudeville stage, was the break-out hit of the 2007 NY Musical Theater Festival, tap-dancing its way into the hearts of audiences and critics alike -- what Talkin' Broadway proclaimed "a tour de force" -- as it made its way to its Off Broadway premiere at The York Theatre Company in November 2008. My Vaudeville Man! has a book by Jeff Hochhauser, music by Bob Johnston, and lyrics by Johnston and Hochhauser, based on Jack Donahue's Letters of a Hoofer to his Ma. Music produced by Doug Oberhamer.

Label: Ghostlight
