In anticipation of the concert event, BroadwayBox asked McClure to share with us 15 of his all-time favorite showtunes. Take a look.
Here is my "playlist". It's an eclectic selection but I slowly realized the theme. It was "Transformation". Great moments when either a character or a show goes thru a profound moment of surprising change. Some of these are literal moments of transformation and others are moments when I thought a song transformed the genre. Interpret at your own risk. =D
