Opening night of a great musical - the glittering first-night audience crowding the lobby, excited, laughing, gesticulating, spilling over into red-carpeted aisles, gold-encrusted boxes, brass-railed balconies, and settling at last into curved tiers of velvet-covered seats; the first burst of anticipatory applause as the orchestra files in... the sudden silence as the lights fade and the conductor raises his baton... and then the electrifying opening bars of the overture, as first the strings and then the brass sweep into the gay, irresistible, noisy, tender, melting melodies of Broadway.
This is the happiest, most carefree, most magical of musical worlds. Here the hearts are young, and there are pots of gold at the end of every rainbow, and every boy is king, and every girl is like a melody. The songs which have sprung from this world are a-glitter with stardust and rich with memories - memories of the immortal Gertrude Lawrence in the role of the lovely governess who conquered the imperious heart of the King of Siam... memories of Mary Martin, bare-footed and irresistible, washing that man right out of her hair in South Pacific... memories of a love affair which broke the centuries-old spell of the enchanted village of Brigadoon.
There is no business like show business - and there are no melodies like the melodies of Broadway. Robert Bentley and his Orchestra here play for you some of the loveliest and most unforgettable - melodies which have all the panache, all the colour and rhythm and bewitching tenderness which are the unmistakable hallmarks of all the great hits of the show business world.
