My Place in the World on CD

Neva Small sings songs from her lifetime of starring appearances on and off Broadway on this most unusual CD compilation. 'My Place In the World' includes premiere recordings from the scores of Broadway's best songwriters, including music and lyrics by Bob Merrill, Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Schwartz, Hoagy Carmichael, Jerry Bock, Sheldon Harnick, Amanda McBroom, Jacques Levy, Ken Jacobson, Rhoda Roberts, Marilyn and Alan Bergman, Sammy Fain and G. Wood. Musical visits are paid to the scores of 'Henry, Sweet Henry,' 'The Prince of Grand Street' and 'Mass.' Neva, who is best known for her portrayal of Chava, the third daughter in the movie musical 'Fiddler on the Roof,' includes on this one-of-a-kind CD a rare duet with the late great Dizzy Gillespie on trumpet and vocals in a bebop version of 'Matchmaker, Matchmaker.' The entire collection has been lovingly produced by Broadway's own Walter Willison with arrangements by Fred Barton, Horace Ott and Richard Sudhalter. Listen and enjoy as Neva sings theater history especially for you!
