projects include Virgin Mobile, Clinique, MiO,, and she can currently be seen in spots for AZO and Warner’s Bras.

Regional credits include LEGALLY BLONDE, SEUSSICAL, and HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL. As a sample, here’s one of my favorites - written for and then cut from the original production (but included as underscoring in the beloved 1955 film, starring the late Jane Powell) - “An Armful Of You.ERIN WEGNER BROOKS* (Pam Sakarian) is thrilled to be performing in her hometown this summer! A graduate of SPHS, she grew up performing with CTA and ASGT and her family supported the construction of this beautiful theater! Erin performed on the 1st National Tour of YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, and CIRQUE DREAMS, Off-Broadway in PINKALICIOUS, WUTHERING HEIGHTS, and A STOOP ON ORCHARD STREET, in Las Vegas as a principal singer for JUBILEE!, and with Disney both nationally and internationally. It all started with 1971’s surprise hit revival of No, No, Nanette (1925), which then sparked an attempt to resurrect many of the big shows of the Roaring Twenties - Irene (1919), Good News (1927), and Whoopee! (1928), among others.įor this post, we’re celebrating one such effort, which came, like several did, from Goodspeed Musicals - a 1977 revisal of Youmans’ 1927 charmer, Hit The Deck! Next to Nanette, this is one of the great composer’s most tuneful scores, and I’m happy to share an audio (songs only) of this production - which included a few interpolations and new ditties using existing melodies - for subscribers who comment below to alert me of their interest. However, this time, we’re not talking about the ’50s, but the ’20s - the other era that seemed to find a renaissance in popular entertainment, especially on Broadway. Welcome to a new Wildcard Wednesday (on a Tuesday), or really, a bonus Musical Theatre Monday, as we’re not only paying tribute to the underrated Vincent Youmans, we’re also indulging the 1970s’ nostalgia craze.
