The Dress Circle: Spotlight on Howard Keel

Your browser doesn’t support HTML5 audio

We love reminding everyone about some of the great performers who we feel are being forgotten, and on this week’s Dress Circle (5/19 7:00 p.m.), we’ll be doing just that as we shine a spotlight on leading man Howard Keel.  Many people only remember him as Clayton Farlow on “Dallas,” but for those of us who love musicals have loved him in films like “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers,” “Kismet,” “Calamity Jane,” “Kiss Me Kate,” and “Annie Get Your Gun” as well as his stage appearances in shows like “Saratoga” and the London cast of “Oklahoma!”   

He was 6’3”, handsome, with a beautifully mellow bass voice, and he deserves to be remembered, so join us as we celebrate a man who rose from nothing to be one of the finest singers on film.
