In honor of the 50th anniversary of FUNNY GIRL and this weekend's sure-to-be spectacular BroadwayWorld special event EVERYTHING'S COMING UP BROADWAYWORLD.COM: A JULE STYNE TRIBUTE, today we honor the man behind the music for many of the greatest musicals of all time.
Lastly, Judy Garland and Mel Torme team up for "The Party's Over" from BELLS ARE RINGING.
As a special bonus, enjoy the holiday Styne standard "Let It Snow!" as performed by Michael Buble. So, what precisely is it about the music of Jule Styne that so expertly and evocatively conjures up the sassy brassiness characteristic of the classic Broadway sound so many of us know and love unconditionally? Furthermore, what score showcases his vast composorial skills best of all in your estimation? Most challengingly, which song is your personal favorite of them all? With so many hits and so many hidden gems, it is nearly impossible to list all the valid and wonderful reasons why Jule Styne is one of Broadway's very best - and outright impossible to select a favorite showstopper.
