Pages: 1 0 replies

On this week’s show we took a jubilant and judicious jaunt down The Great White Way, featuring music that originated on Broadway. No, there weren’t any original cast recordings, and you may be surprised that some of the songs actually included originated on musical theater’s main stem.

Dr. Zarkov’s Tiki Lounge is broadcast on Wednesdays, 5-6 pm EDT at: http://www.radiofairfax.org The show is broadcast live; no recorded shows are archived. Some fans record it on their computers to listen to later. Radio Fairfax also can be heard on Tune In Radio at tunein.com, and streamed on smartphones by downloading the Tunein app. It can be streamed on Roku and Google TV at: http://tinyurl.com/3uqfsz9
