WPMT #121: Silk Stockings

Privyet! and Bon Jour! Today's WPMT is a celebration of Cole Porter's hit musical "Silk Stockings" which was inspired by the movie classic "Ninotchka." Our program stars Rosallind Russel and Spencer Tracy in the roles created on film by Greta Garbo and Melvyn Douglas as heard in the 1940 Screen Guild Theatre broadcast. It's an international comedy for this week's WPMT now playing on all major listening platforms.

Porchlight Music Theatre presents: "The Classic Musicals from the Golden Age of Radio." Here, host Michael Weber will introduce you to some of the great American musicals as they were originally presented on the airwaves. Performed live in front of a studio audience near the years the productions played on stage or were adapted as movies, you'll visit an era when Broadway was the central source for the launch of popular music and when stage actors were known by name across the land.
