The Magic of The Musical: Season 3 Begins!
![](https://vcradio.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/TMoTM-S03E01_002.png)
We’re pleased to announce the start of the third season of our original series of The Magic of The Musical, where your host Caledonia Skytower takes a monthly look at the world of musical theatre with songs, stories and lore surrounding some of our most popular musicals.
Saturday, April 20 @ 2pm SLT/Pacific Time sees the first show of the season: Unexpected Broadway. This show is now available on Mixcloud.
This episode features performances by actors and actresses that you would not have expected to find in a Broadway musical, but they were! In some cases we’ll feature the production, and in some the performance. Who knew that a quirky film actor started out as a dancer for Liza Minelli? Or that “the boy who lived” would appear in the Broadway Revival of a 1961 Frank Loesser musical?
Join our live audience at Ceiluiradh Glen on Saturday at 2pm SLT — slurl: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Nowhereville/196/131/21 or tune in to Virtual Community Radio here on the web site, plug this URL into a network player: http://main.vcradio.org — or ask your smart speaker to “Play Virtual Community Radio!”
