As this episode coincides with the USA's Independence Day observance, it seems fitting to feature a musical about the quintessential American experience of traveling across the world to make a new life. Spencer Williams' musical For Tonight is getting a concept recording at the end of the month, and this milestone holds significance for not only him but his ancestors as well. Host Sally Fuller sits down with Williams to discuss the fascinating backstory that turned a few paragraphs of a journal into a large-scale musical. After the conversation, stick around to hear an exclusive release of the song, "Wait for the Morn" from For Tonight, sung in authentic Welsh accents by West End actors Dale Evans and Simon Gordon! And be sure to check out our show notes for some bonus photos and videos on TheBroadwayGinger.com.
