Don't Judge a Song By Its Cover

We’ll take a look at how some of our favorite songs have been inspired by stories and books, including how you can make songs out of your favorites stories too!

Barrie, we’ll take a trip around the library and find the songs that are hidden there. *** Featured music: Whitney Houston: “Impossible” from Rodgers & Hammerstein’s “Cinderella” Alex Newell: “Mama Will Provide” from “Once On This Island” New Broadway Cast Recording Carole King: “Chicken Soup With Rice” from “Really Rosie” Carole King: “Pierre” from “Really Rosie” Cast of The Wiz Live: “Ease On Down the Road” Idina Menzel: “The Wizard and I” from “Wicked” *** Donate to support this and future seasons of The Music Box.
