Strouse has been honored with a Tony Award for Bye Bye Birdie as well as two Tonys and two Grammys for the smash hit Annie. A collection of interesting and well-known songs from Charles Strouse's songbook, this is the newest addition to Jay's successful Musicality of… series. Features songs from Charles Strouse's hit shows as well as new, upcoming shows. There are very few albums available devoted to this successful Broadway composer. An all-star lineup includes Sarah Brightman, Karen Ziemba, Ron Raines and more. Recorded with the National Symphony Orchestra using original stage and recording orchestrations.
