• Welcome to “well, That’s Show Biz!”. I am your host, Jeremy Freedman, and this is the show that brings you music from Broadway, Movies, and Entertainers along with some anecdotes, information, and commentary all based on a theme.

• Before we leave April behind, it has come to my attention that April is Stress Awareness Month. So to honor Stress Awareness Month, each of our sets today will start off with a stressful song followed by stress relieving songs.

• Opening our first set will be Yul Brynner as the King of Siam singing “A Puzzlement” from The King and I. Then to relieve his stress we are going to hear Jack Gilford sing “I’m Calm” from A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum. Then Shirley Jones will sing “Goodnight My Someone” from the film version of The Music Man. And we will close the set with Yvonne Elliman singing “Everything’s Alright” from the film version of Jesus Christ Superstar. Here’s the stressful “A Puzzlement” from The King and I.
