• This is the last show of my second year as host of “well, That’s Show Biz!”. Next week is my 2nd Anniversary Show and the start of my third year on the air. So this week’s theme is Finales to commemorate the end of my second year.

Then we will hear the original killer dillers, Gwen Verdon and Chita Rivera, singing “Nowadays” from Chicago. And we will conclude this set with the Finale of A Chorus Line, the reprise of “One”.  Here’s “Spread the Love Around” from Sister Act.
