    • Welcome to “well, That’s Show Biz!”. I am your host, Jeremy Freedman, and each week I bring you music from Broadway, Movies, and Entertainers along with some anecdotes, information, and commentary all based on a theme.


    • Today’s show was pre-recorded.


    • <Play “You Got a Friend In Me”>


    • Today is National Friendship Day and you just heard “You Got a Friend In Me” from the animated film Toy Story. Today’s show features songs about Friendship.


    • Opening our first set we have Ben Platt and company singing “Sincerely Me” from the film version of Dear Evan Hansen as Evan and his friend invent email letters to make the parents of Conner Murphy think that he and Evan were best friends. We will follow that with Robin Williams singing “Friend Like Me” from the animated film Aladdin. Then we will hear the song “Friends” from the musical Shucked and we will conclude the set with “We Go Together” from the film version of Grease.  Here’s “Sincerely Me” from Dear Evan Hansen.

    • We are playing songs about Friendship today and starting off our second set we have “You I Like” from Jerry Herman’s The Grand Tour. Next we will hear Judy Garland and Savannah’s own Johnny Mercer duet with “Friendship”, a song originally from Cole Porter’s musical, DuBarry Was a Lady, but has since been added to recent revivals of Anything Goes. Then we will hear “You’ve Got a Friend” from Beautiful:The Carole King Musical. And we will finish the set with Angela Lansbury and Bea Arthur singing the classic friends song “Bosom Buddies” from Mame.  Here’s “You I Like” from The Grand Tour.
