To quote a beloved song title from this CD, “Once Upon a Time”…. These four words instantly conjure a mythical, fabled land – usually a long time ago and far, far away. Well, once upon a time, there was a mythical, magical place – a place called Broadway; an enchanted kingdom set aglow by a million neon lights.

Once upon a time, in 1962, there was a Broadway musical called ALL AMERICAN. This CD offers a piece of Broadway history – a rare glimpse into the creation of a new musical comedy. It’s an example of a time-honored Broadway tradition that goes back, probably, to the very beginnings of musical theater. It’s a live recording of a backers audition, performed by the very men who wrote the music and lyrics, Charles Strouse and Lee Adams.

Other entries in the Harbinger Songwriters Series include Hugh Martin: Hidden Treasures, Noel Coward Sings Sail Away and Other Coward Rarities, and Richard Rodgers: Command Performance.
