While Robert Sher's career has been most significant for producing the Grammy nominated cast recordings of such Broadway musicals as Nice Work If You Can Get It, Sugar Babies, and the most recent revival of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, today we are celebrating Robert's passionate work to preserve many of the musical theatre's most obscure gems and for those scores to be elevated in the minds, and iTunes, of those who love musicals.
Robert pulls back the curtain on his career to discuss how a boy who loved musicals became a seven time Grammy nominee, what it was like working with obscure record producer Bruce Yeko, and why Robert needs all of your help to get some of Broadway's most obscure gems out to eager listeners, including Lovely Ladies, Kind Gentlemen and Sandy Duncan's Peter Pan!
Also, Robert shines the spotlight on Debbie Reynolds, Teresa Stratas, and Stephen Schwartz!
