In their latest video they shared footage of Patti LuPone singing 'Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered' From Pal Joey!
Take a look at the video!
#EncoresArchives No songwriting team captured the 1930s like Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart. It was the Great Depression, and audiences were yearning for escape (not unlike our current circumstances). At the same time, they knew that the world wasn't really all sweetness-and-light, and Hart, the most personal of lyricists, was able to provide rollicking comic ingenuity and genuine heartbreak at the same time, which made him the lyric poet of the era-at least where musical theater was concerned. Rodgers, prior to his musical transformation in later years when he joined forces with Oscar Hammerstein II, was Hart's ideal partner, providing swing, energy, pep, and sudden turns into melancholy exactly as required. Encores! has encountered their work on six different Broadway shows, and been continually astonished at the breadth, variety, and freshness of their scores. a?? a?? ?: Patti LuPone "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered"
