Playlist: Cy Coleman — A Broadway Celebration
Cy Coleman was always one of Broadway’s most eclectic composers, working with many lyricists and employing musical styles that stretch from jazz to operetta, country to pop. Even with all this variety, his music always had that key ingredient of every great showtune: it told a story. This playlist is a celebration of some of Coleman’s best ditties, culled from the likes of Little Me, Wildcat, Sweet Charity, Seesaw, On the Twentieth Century, I Love My Wife, Barnum, City of Angels, The Will Rogers Follies, and The Life. I hope you’ll enjoy his songs as much as I do.
