Next time I'm on the air:  Thanksgiving evening 7-Midnight and the next night Friday, 11-27 same time

Back in the eighties there was a strong underground punk rock movement going on in Philly and I did attend some shows at after-hour clubs like the East Side Club and the Kennel Club.  Those memories come alive again with this reunion. 

OLIVER!  at the Walnut Theater September 10 through January 10

I put together a collage of some of the Lionel Bart songs - (from the London Symphony Orchaestra's production).  The collage is a little less than ninety seconds but should refresh your memory as to how great the music is from the play. 

The production features the largest cast The Walnut Theater ever engaged plus a dog!  More than 300 children auditioned for some 40 roles.
