Broadway Bound: The Musicals That Never Came to Broadway

ANGELA LANSBURY in Prettybelle Jul 16, 2026

CW: This episode frequently mentions the word r**e in relation to the story

Angela Lansbury survived murder mysteries, Tom Bosley's New England accent, and a murderous nephew. But could she survive a musical about a Southern woman who decides the solution to racism is......well, you just need to listen to this episode about the Styne/Merrill musical Prettybelle

This week, we examine one of the most baffling concepts ever set to music and discover how one of Broadway's most beloved stars managed to walk away from a catastrophe with her reputation not only intact—but somehow improved.

BEA ARTHUR in A Mother's Kisses Jul 02, 2026

Bea Arthur spent her career playing women who could level a grown man with a single look. So naturally she starred in A Mother's Kisses, a musical about a stage mother so terrifying she makes Mama Rose look like Maria Von Trapp.

This week, we explore the show that seemed perfectly suited to Bea's talents and ask a simple question: can a star be too right for a role?

Along the way, we'll uncover a musical that wasn't really about Broadway at all—it was about what happens when nobody in the room is willing to blink first.

Pleasures and Palaces (1965) Jul 08, 2025

If I said to you I have a score by Guys and Dolls’ Frank Loesser, book by Kiss Me Kate’s Sam Spewack, directed by the one and only Bob Fosse, and starring television personality Phyllis Newman, you’d probably ask where could you invest because this is gonna be bigger than talking pictures!

But, it wasn’t? Why? Why did all of these wonderful people struggle with making Russian expansion funny and musical?

Grover’s Corners (1987) May 27, 2025

In 1960, Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt created theater

history when their whimsical musical, The Fantasticks, the little show that

no one believed in, opened and would not close until forty years later.

Twenty-seven years later they would say “Smart New York money says we're not what's

happening at the moment. We are perceived as the past. The perspective of us

needs to be altered,” and so they plunged head first into musicalizing the play

that had inspired them to create theater in the first place, Thornton Wilder’s Our

Town. But why, almost forty years later, no one will ever get to hear it?

See what happened was…..well, guess you will need to find out for yourself when we explore how the geniuses behind The Fantasticks struggled against the tides of British imports to bring musical life to Grover’s Corners, with a cast of characters ranging from Gene Kelly to Angela

Lansbury to Peter Pan herself, Mary Martin.

Bonanza Bound (1947) May 13, 2025

It might end up being one the longest partnerships in the history of the American Musical. Betty Comden and Adolph Green, the lyricists of On the Town, Wonderful Town, Bells Are Ringing, Do Re Mi, Applause, On the 20th Century, the screenplay writers of Singing in the Rain, and the duo that gave the world phrases like “New York, New York, it’s a helluva town!” “Never Never land!” “Make Someone Happy” “The Party’s Over” and so many others.

But, all of that amazing work might not have happened if they had brought their gold rush musical, Bonanza Bound, onto Broadway when they were first starting out!

Grab your sleds and huskies because there is gold in them that hills….and by hills I mean Philadelphia where we will look at 1947’s Bonanza Bound!

Before Lin Manuel Miranda....before Jason Robert Brown....before Jonathan Larson....there was Meredith Willson, the one man band who gave the world its most American of musicals, The Music Man.

But what happens when the music man wants to change his tune? And change it while being confronted with every major life crisis imaginable?

Home Again, Home Again (1979) Apr 15, 2025

Composer Cy Coleman gave Broadway some of its most iconic melodies:

Big Spender, Real Live Girl, Hey, Look Me Over, and the list goes on and on. He

was the King of 60s smooth swing and had never once closed a show out of town….until….

Along with a wild crew including a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist,

a testy choreographer, a director unsure of the material, and a leading man who

was as eccentric offstage as he was on, Cy Coleman tried to bring a bucolic

morality musical to life but Home Again, Home Again shuttered in Canada.

But soon Coleman had an idea for his next musical! A musical

about a musical whose wild crew included a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, a

testy choreographer, a director unsure of the material, and a leading man who

was as eccentric offstage as he was on, as they all careened to opening on the

great bright way.

See what happened was…well, you will just need to jump into

our episode focusing on Baker’s Dozen/Home Again/Home Again Home Again/10 Days

to Broadway/13 Days to Broadway…..yes….there are more titles.

Lolita, My Love (1971) Apr 01, 2025

Trigger Warning: This episode deals with pedophilia

If there was source material that no one ever thought could

be a musical, you would go to one man to write it. Not Lin Manuel Miranda. Not

Stephen Sondheim. Not even Oscar Hammerstein. You would go to lyricist Alan Jay

Lerner who, along with Frederick Loewe, created Brigadoon, Camelot, and the

juggernaut known as My Fair Lady.

But when Loewe chooses to retire, and Broadway moves to pop,

Alan Jay Lerner has two options. He can either retire himself OR try to outdo

the current crop of edgy young songwriters who are putting sex, drugs, rock and

roll onstage. Could Lerner top them all with the adding songs to the most scandalous

book ever written?

See what happened was….well, you will need to find out for yourself

when we see what happened when Alan Jay Lerner tried to get audiences excited

about turning Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita, a book centered on the adoration of

nymphets, into a big old musical called Lolita, My Love!

Annie 2: Miss Hannigan's Revenge (1990) Mar 18, 2025

In 1977, Martin Charnin, Charles Strouse, and Thomas Meehan,

looked at one another on the opening night of Annie and said five magic words

to one another “This show will run forever!”

Thirteen years later, Charnin, Strouse, and Meehan looked at

one another on the opening night of Annie 2 and said another five words to one

another “We wrote the wrong show.”

See what happened was…..well, guess you will need to find

out for yourself when we explore how the geniuses behind Annie 1

struggled to find the right elements to make Annie 2 just as brilliant as

her older sister.

Gone With The Wind: The Musical (1974) Apr 04, 2024

When we think of "out of town" tryouts we think of Boston, New Haven, Philadelphia, Detroit, Tokyo…..

Yes, Tokyo!

In the 1970s Tokyo had become the center of Japanese culture and it was giving its citizens home grown movies, literature, plays, and paintings but it had not given its public a musical that was cultivated in Japan. So what better option than an hour adaptation of Gone With The Wind?

Well, what happened was…..well were gonna let Miss Scarlett herself, Lesley Ann Warren, tell you in this week’s episode of which explores Gone With the Wind: The Musical! Well, fiddle- dee- dee!

Paper Moon (1993) Mar 28, 2024

This one is a heart-breaker, friends.

A real, honest to Sondheim heart-breaker.

Like Avenue Q beating Wicked heart-breaker because, unless without a deus ex machina at Paramount Studios, we will never, ever see a musical that everyone says was one of the greatest musicals of the 1990s.

Starring Christine Ebersole, Gregory Harrison, and......wait, why should I tell you when book writer Martin Casella and ensemble members John Bolton and Christopher Sieber can as they back on 1993's Paper Moon.

The Baker's Wife (1976) Mar 21, 2024

What do a nine minute song about a bird, the chest hair of Israel's greatest entertainer, an FBI pursuit of a missing lead sheet, and a list of firings as long as Paul Sorvino's range have in common? They were all part of the madcap, wild, manic, and tumultuous ride of Stephen Schwartz and Joseph Stein's The Baker's Wife.

Get ready as original cast members Carole Demas, Kurt Peterson, Teri Ralston, as well as original press agent Joshua Ellis, look back on Topol, Patti LuPone, David Merrick, and a meadowlark longing to break free.

Breakfast at Tiffany's: The Musical (1966) Mar 14, 2024

What happens when the doctor becomes the patient?

Abe Burrows, the greatest script doctor of the Golden Age, had agreed to direct and write the musical adaptation of Breakfast at Tiffany's. Only problem is no one told him what they wanted...or expected...

Soon, it was a troubled musical with different titles, different book-writers (including Edward Albee), America's cutest TV stars floundering without cameras, the Abominable Showman himself, David Merrick, and.....well, why have us tell you when ten time Emmy Award winning director James Burrows (Cheers, Friends) looks back on his father's work and his own experience as the assistant stage manager of Holly Golightly/Breakfast At Tiffany's: The Musical

Juliet of the Spirits (1979) Mar 07, 2024

Gwen Verdon was Charity. Raul Julia was Guido. Angela Lansbury was Juliet......then was not.

Federico Fellini was Italy’s most iconic film director of the 1960s so its no surprise that many of his films have been turned into musicals. But, there is a Fellini movie that screams to be a musical, even more so than any of the others and it almost was…with Angela Lansbury in the title role….grab a pizza, open some chianti, and get ready to hear all about the greatest musical that never was: Enter Juliet!

The Mambo Kings: The Musical (2005) Feb 29, 2024

It was supposed to be the musical that turned Latinx characters in musical theater from hoodlums and gang members to heroes and inspirations! A musical that was steeped in the rhythms of Latinx history and a story that would examine assimilation and appropriation within the immigration experience. So why was creator Arne Glimcher leaving his heart, and show, in San Francisco? Well you see what happened was…..well, we are going to let composer Carlos Frazetti tell us in this episode of Broadway Bound which will focus on the 2005 heart-breaker The Mambo Kings!

Minsky's (2009) Feb 22, 2024

Some musicals have all the luck...and them some do not. Minsky's is one that does not.

It would take thirty plus years for this cult classic to make its way from the big screen to the big stage and in between it would have three different lyricists, two different directors, two choreographers, but it would always have the same composer: Charles Strouse. Why was he so determined to get this movie to Broadway?

Well, what happened was....We are going to let two time Tony Award winning director Casey Nicholaw give you an insider's look at what should've been the next Drowsy Chaperone: Minsky's!

Well, before Marta Kauffman and David Crane created that quintessential 90s sitcom, they were musical theater writers and had their hearts set on The Great Bright Way. But, they had to pivot.
