Singing the Difficult & the Devastaing
Broadway composers are no strangers to writing difficult, intricate, dynamic, hard-to-sing songs. And writing others that will make you cry your eyes out is their specialty. Emotionally devastating songs can do that.
On this edition of Broadway Bound we look at both the most difficult Broadway songs to sing and those that can rip your heart out. Some of the greatest Broadway stars show us how they handle the hard ones with deceptive ease, and then conjure up devastating emotion on the heartbreakers.
Bernadette Peters, Dorothy Louden, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Robert Preston, Barbara Cook and Barbra Streisand are among the masters. Get ready to laugh, cry, and be amazed.
