‘The musical was first produced on Broadway in 1953_______’
Having a hard time remembering, but I think ‘Strangers In Paradise,’ by planned request, was one of the many ‘background’ pieces played on the organ at our church wedding ceremony in ‘57 - you know, the music that is played until the bride arrives!
(The thread’s not closed - some of us had a power outage today which lasted for hours - - - True)!
“Stranger in Paradise” was a mega hit in the 1950s. We had the record so I remember its beautiful melody as if it was yesterday.
It saddens me that a young singer will not be able to study this song and share it with an audience. So sad and stupid. As someone else said, we allow the GZ mosque and ban “Kismet.” Pretty dumb, huh?
