If you're a theater maven, you can't help being a fan of Nathan Lane. While he's had success in movies (notably The Birdcage) and TV (recent recurring role on The Good Wife), the stage is his natural element (The Producers,The Addams Family, Guys and Dolls, etc., etc.), and he's a theatrical treasure, who can sing, do broad comedy, and yet do serious drama, too.

When you listen to FUV, you discover new music and hear great new bands perform live. That's part of what Public Radio Music Month is all about, so we're joining in the celebration by looking back at some past live performances. One impressive show was Alabama Shakes at Bowery Ballroom, just after their debut album Boys & Girls was released. It's hard to imagine anyone in that crowd not leaving there a believer, but of course, FUV made sure you didn't have to be in the room to hear the show.
The Rascals are rocking the Richard Rodgers Theater in their limited Broadway engagement, Once Upon a Dream, written, produced, and directed by Steven Van Zandt of the E Street Band. Using a high-quality concert PA system and video projections, it tells the story of the Rascals, reunited after 40 years, as they perform 28 songs (backed by a bassist, keyboard player, and three harmony singers).
