Welcome to a new Musical Theatre Monday! In honor of this blog’s tenth anniversary, I’m diving back into my archives to re-share material that you may have missed when it was initially offered.

• An audio of You Never Know (1938): 2009 Musicals Tonight!
• Three Du Barry Was A Lady (1939): 1990 Concert, 1996 Encores!, 2001 BBC
• An audio of Panama Hattie (1940): 2019 Mufti
• Two audios of Let’s Face It (1941): 1994 Lost Musicals + 2006 Musicals Tonight!
• Two Something For The Boys (1943): 1995 Lost Musicals + 2002 Roosevelt University

I offer these for the rest of this month, in celebration of Cole Porter — and YOU, for making these last ten years a pleasure! Here’s a sample of the goodies above: Kim Criswell with…

Come back next month for more musical rarities! And stay tuned tomorrow for more Becker!
