This week Mel Larch celebrates 150 episodes of Curtain Call with a show devoted to the ten musicals that were awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Best Drama.

At 3 PM, Wednesday afternoon’s Curtain Call on The AIR follows an encore of a classic edition of Beatles Blast (which airs at 2PM).

Over the last 92 years only ten musicals have earned the coveted Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and to mark her 150th show, Mel tells you about each show, and brings you a sample of the music that made them so special.

We’re talking about recognition for people like George & Ira Gershwin, Rodgers & Hammerstein, Frank Loesser, Stephen Sondheim, Lin Manuel-Miranda and more.

In order, Mel breaks down the ten winners; Of Thee I Sing; South Pacific; Fiorello!; How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying; A Chorus Line; Sunday In The Park With George; RENT; Next To Normal; Hamilton and A Strange Loop. You’ll hear one or two tracks from each show, just to give you a taste of these award-winning gems.

Mel wants to thank all of her listeners who have made Curtain Call a success since its debut back in 2016.  She’s already working on episode 151, so be sure to check PopCult each week to see it pop up.

Curtain Call can be heard on The AIR Wednesday at 3 PM, with replays Thursday at 8 AM, Friday at 10 AM, Saturday at 8 PM, Monday at 9 AM and Tuesday at 2 PM. A marathon of classic episodes can be heard Sunday morning beginning at 9 AM, and an all-night marathon of Curtain Call episodes can be heard Wednesday nights, beginning at Midnight.

Tonight at 10 PM we bring you the comedic music of The Bonzo Dog Band on a classic episode  of The Comedy Vault. You can hear this replayed Saturday at 6 PM and next Monday at 8 PM.
