Show Tunes with Kate Botello is a weekly program highlighting the best of Broadway (and sometimes beyond)!
We have an incredible trove of vinyl records of Tony-nominated Broadway shows going all the way to the beginning of the Tony awards.
Each week, we'll "drop the needle" and listen to both sides of these terrific records, all the way through!
Many thanks to generous IPR donor Ted Braciak for donating his incredible record collection!
