Welcome to Episode 16 of Show Tunes with Kate Botello! This week: spring is here - at least according to clocks and official types. And nobody gets the whole spring thing better than Rodgers and Hammerstein...or Rodgers and Hart!
We’ll hear tunes from a couple of current hits, and - at Intermission - FORBIDDEN BROADWAY goes after LES MISERABLES not once - but twice!
