We will follow that with the Irish boy band, Boyzone, singing “No Matter What” originally from Andrew Lloyd Weber’s musical Whistle Down the Wind. Then, Dee Snyder, from Twisted Sister, put out an album called Dee does Broadway. We are going to hear the first selection off of this album, the title song to Kander and Ebb’s Cabaret. And we will end this first set with the punk/pop/rock group, Blondie, with lead singer Deborah Harry, singing “Follow Me” originally from Lerner and Loewe’s Camelot.
