What Makes it Great? With Rob Kapilow “The Music of Lerner and Loewe”

Rob Kapilow gives his one-of-a-kind “What Makes it Great?” treatment to the music of Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe, a duo “virtually synonymous with the blockbuster Broadway musical.” (PBS). It’s a must-see event for anyone who enjoys Broadway or Hollywood musicals, but the truth is, with Rob Kapilow at the helm, you’ll end up becoming a fan of whatever subject he’s presenting.

In this equally entertaining and educational series, Kapilow doesn’t just perform great music and provide the facts about it; he equips audiences to hear it like they might otherwise never have, “opening new ears to musical experiences and helping people to listen actively rather than just hear,” as stated in his bio. He’s the rare kind of teacher whose insightfulness matches his sincere enthusiasm, and the even rarer kind of teacher whose one-size-fits-all approach engrosses novices and experts alike. Come find out why shows like My Fair Lady, Camelot, Brigadoon, Paint Your Wagon, and Gigi became such enduring smash hits—and have a good time doing it!

This performance also has a streaming option January 21-27, 2022:
