STAGE TUBE: Sierra Boggess, Seth MacFarlane & More Perform MAME with John Wilson Orchestra

Part of the BBC Proms 2012 series from Royal Albert Hall in London, John Wilson conducted the John Wilson Orchestra and Maida Vale Singers in MAME by Jerry Herman, with featured soloists Sierra Boggess, Anna-Jane Casey, Rodney Earl Clarke, Elizabeth Llewellyn, Seth MacFarlane and Julian Ovenden.

After last year’s celebration of the Hollywood screen musical, John Wilson and his high-octane orchestra presented a tribute to the composers and arrangers responsible for creating the Broadway Sound—among them such legendary tunesmiths as Jerome Kern, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Vincent Youmans, Richard Rodgers and Frank Loesser.

The concert included excerpts from Show Boat, No, No, Nanette, On Your Toes, Kiss Me, Kate and Annie Get Your Gun. It was broadcast live on BBC Radio 3. For full details, program notes and more, click here.

The CD is set for release in October.
