About Music & Film
A great show tune can stop a room cold — one soaring phrase and every heart in the theater lifts in unison. Broadway composers have always known that the melody carries the emotion, but it is the lyric underneath that makes a stranger feel understood. From the soft opening of an overture to the last blazing note of a finale, a well-crafted song tells an entire story in three minutes or less.
