Subject:  Musicals from the '20s-'30s...

Someone recently asked for examples of musical selections from the 1920s and
1930s. I was in a performance earlier this year that did a few of these. I
will just list the program:


Victor Herbert I'm Falling in Love with Someone (Naughty Marietta) 1910

Rudolf Friml Rose-Marie (Rose-Marie) 1924

Sigmund Romberg Stouthearted Men (THe New Moon) 1927

Jerome Kern Why Do I Love You? (Showboat) 1927



Richard Rogers and Lorenz Hart

I could write a Book ((Pal Joey) 1940

To Keep my Love Alive (A Connecticut Yankee) 1927

With a Song in my Heart (Spring is Here) 1929

Falling in Love with Love (The Boys from Syracuse) 1938



Cole Porter

What is this thing called Love? (Wake up and Dream) 1929

I've got you under my skin (Born to Dance) 1936

Anything Goes (Anything Goes) 1934


George Gershwin/Kurt Weill

The Man I Love (Lady be Good) 1924

My Ship (Lady in the Dark) 1940

Love is Sweeping the Country (Of Thee I sing) 1932


Richard Rogers and Oscar Hammerstein

Out of My Dreams (Oklahoma) 1943

Shall We Dance? (The King and I) 1951

This Nearly was Mine (South Pacific) 1949

It's a Grand Night for Singing (State Fair) 1945


Frederick Lowe and Alan Lerner


The Night they invented Champagne (Gigi) 1958

Before I gaze at you again (Camelot) 1960

They call the Wind Maria (Paint your Wagon) 1951

With a Little bit of Luck (My Fair Lady) 1956


Leonard Bernstein

I can Cook (On the Town) 1944

Maria (West Side Story) 1957

Pass that Football (Wonderful Town) 1953

Cole Porter

Let's do it (Paris) 1928


Hope that helps whoever was looking for musical things. I know that it was
a blast to sing this concert. I especially enjoyed singing "pass that
football."
