conducted of course by John Wilson John Wilson will return to the stage in a few minutes for the second half of tonight's prom he first fell in love with film musicals as a young boy watching Saturday afternoon matinees on television at home in gay said an antidote to endless sports success this is the third time he's bought the magic of musicals to the proms and his fascination and admiration remains a lifelong passion the enduring appeal of these movie musicals for me is simply the tunes first class tunes brilliantly played and sung perfectly here you get some of the best songs of the last century in the most stylish settings [Music] I chose 42nd Street because I needed a good Sparky opener you get these extended routines which involve the chorus the soloists and it makes for a very satisfactory set Fred Astaire had more hit songs written for him than any of the performer more than Frank Sinatra more than enough Fitzgerald or any of those great jazz singers Irving Berlin loved Fred Astaire's interpretations of his songs he didn't deviate from the melody that he'd composed tying up my white time writing off my top hat white time tears is one of his signature Tunes it's sort of one of those very early examples of the extended dance routine [Music] we start the second half with the sequence from a star as BOM Judy Garland gives one of her best performances in one of Harold Allen's best songs with a terrific lyrics Ira Gershwin and the man that got away so it was a an absolute no brainer [Music] I'm including triplets which was from the bandwagon the sequence stars Fred Astaire Nanette Fabray and Jack Buchanan and they're all dressed up as babies and they're all triplets and they all hate each other we I've chosen to run the concert with put on this under clothes from Hello toy because I think that musical is kind of the last big musical to come from the old studio system [Applause] [Music] everybody in Yonkers is going to New York for the day and they're all getting on the trip so you basically see the emptying out of the town onto the strip during the course of a month could only happen in a musical singing and dancing our primary human impulses even if you're not very good at singing or dancing you know something that we all have a need to do as human beings and what's wrong with that the second half for tonight's prom charts the Hollywood musical from the Fabulous 50's to his final flourish at the end of the 1960s we begin with Judy Garland the ultimate Hollywood star known as much for her troubled life as her tremendous
