Why did some songs from Broadway shows become classics of the American songbook, while others that were just as good get lost over time? This presentation will examine some of these lost and now “unsung songs.” Some of the songs came from hit shows and others from flops. Some songs are romantic and others comedic. What they share is that they are rarely or never heard anymore, but they are still very worthy of listening to again today.
