Mr McGlinn's New Beginnings

BBC Radio 2
on BBC Radio 2

John McGlinn , sleuth, conductor and zealot, talks to Chris Stuart about how he makes great musicals, including Showboat, Kiss
Me Kate and Annie Get Your
Gun, sound even better.
He pours scorn on "slam-bang garish rock 'em, sock 'em revivals", demonstrating how much better the old shows sound when they are given back to their composers.
A Presentable production
