Marc Blitzstein - Musical Theatre premieres
Popular legend is wrong. Oklahoma! was not the first Broadway musical ever to be accorded an original-cast record album. That honour goes to The Cradle Will Rock, Marc Blitzstein's spectacular, Orson Welles - directed, political hot potato. This pioneer CD release involves also Leonard Bernstein, Robert Shaw, Carol Channing and Marc Blitzstein himself ~ not to be missed by anyone interested in American musical theatre!
