With Smash about to make a splash on Broadway this season, the question was asked: how many Broadway musicals have been based on television? While historically, far more Broadway musicals have been based on books or movies, television shows have also provided source materials for several productions on the main stem.

What I loved about the show was the way you felt transported back to 1943 as the live audience for the radio broadcast complete with an “applause” sign that lights up when it’s time to clap. You got to see how they made sound effects on air, and Mathew Szekeres did a great job as “Buzz” with all the different sounds throughout the show. Matt Yordy-Bahn was great as the host of the show keeping it all running smoothly between the telling of the Christmas Carol, songs, and advertisements. The cast seems to really enjoy getting to use different voices and accents throughout the show, and Justin Rosenberger, as “Cholly” really nailed using his voice for radio.

A song-packed 12/12 Christmas event helmed by baritone James Barbour (PHANTOM, JANE EYRE) helped celebrate the season and raise money to help others. Alternately earnest, chatty, cheery, or electrifying, Barbour's event was a night to remember.
