I've been going through some old VHS tapes and I've come across this special that aired on PBS quite some time ago. I can't believe I forgot about it. It's a documentary on R&H intermixed with current Broadway performers singing their songs. Some fabulous performances!

Oops...sometimes I have issues with my keyboard at home lol

I can't check youtube from work but you could look there. If I still had an extra VCR I'd offer to make a copy but I don't.

And it's "Rodgers" with a "d" not "Rogers."

I can still hear those three beautiful songbirds warbling "Sing for Your Supper"!

Debbie and Rebecca do the song with Sarah Uriarte Berry on the Encores from Encores CD

Debbie also does all three voices herself on her Defying Gravity CD
