episode 202: GEORGE DANSKER, HISTORIAN
One of the industry's most respected lecturers and historians, George Dansker, swings by Shetler Studios to look back on the Golden Age of Broadway and two of its most important stars: Mary Martin and Alfred Drake.
Harold pulls back the curtain on their careers to discuss how Mary Martin became the toast of Broadway, what really happened backstage during some of Broadway's greatest flops, and why some musicals deserve a re-examination.
Also, George shines the spotlight on Larry Hagman, Ethel Merman, and Richard Rodgers!
