New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ CineMedia Promotions) Long before Carrie Underwood in The Sound of Music, network television was regularly airing versions of Broadway musicals in the 1950's and '60s. Following his blazing introduction in Camelot, Robert Goulet had become one of the hottest actors of the time. Capitalizing on his fame, the ABC network showcased Goulet in live broadcasts of Brigadoon in 1966 and Kiss Me, Kate in 1968. Lerner and Loewe's Brigadoon features Goulet with Peter Falk and Sally Ann Howes, and Cole Porter's Kiss Me, Kate stars his then-wife, Carol Lawrence, as well as Jessica Walter and Michael Callan. Brigadoon / Kiss Me, Kate, available together for one price, will be released exclusively for purchaseviaMasterworksBroadway.com on March 18 in a limited quantity of Manufacture-On-Demand CDs as well as digital download. The CD will be available through Arkiv Music on April 14, plus downloads through digital service providers the same day.
