Barbara Cook, who captivated LCT audiences in her brilliant "Mostly Sondheim" concert two years earlier, returned to the Beaumont for 12 performances only during the run of KING LEAR.
Accompanied by her longtime (30 years!) musical director Wally Harper, Ms. Cook took audiences on a musical tour of the Golden Years of Broadway musicals. For two decades, from 1951 to 1971, Ms. Cook was a leading star of several Broadway musicals, creating roles in such classics as Candide, The Music Man and She Loves Me. In BARBARA COOK’S BROADWAY, the legendary performer shared her favorite songs and reminisced about this magical period in the history of musical theater.
