Musicals in Vancouver

Here’s a chance to legally download some free music to add to your musical collection.

(Via Broadway Musical Blog)

The New York Pops are providing a free download of the music from their 4th of July celebration, including “American River Suite,” which was composed by Stephen Flaherty (Ragtime, Once on This Island, Seussical) and performed by Tony Award winners Audra McDonald (110 in the Shade, Dreamgirls, Ragtime) and Idina Menzel (Wicked, Rent).

Audra McDonald is one of my all-time favourites and I love in her pretty much anything she does (we won’t mention Private Practice).  Presumably, this is a limited time offer, so download now.
