Following the success of last season's MY FAVORITE BROADWAY: THE LEADING LADIES, Julie Andrews returns to host another all-star gala of showstoppers -- this time with the leading ladies and leading men of Broadway. Joining forces at New York's City Center is a thrilling gathering of Broadway legends with a new generation of stars, including Michael Crawford, Linda Eder, Peter Gallagher, Robert Goulet, Heather Headley, Nathan Lane, Rebecca Luker, Barry Manilow, Marin Mazzie, Bebe Neuwirth, Adam Pascal, Chita Rivera, Brent Spiner, and Tom Wopat. Like "Leading Ladies," "The Love Songs" delivers another dynamite evening with even more of the razzle-dazzle excitement that THE BOSTON HERALD acclaimed as "guaranteed to lift you out of your chair."

Web Highlights
Essays by writer Samantha Gleisten on the special connection between the songs and the singers; memorable moments from the program; and how the show is put together, with insights from producer and director David Horn.
