Vintage Broadway

Vintage Broadway is devoted to preserving and promoting the lost legacy of the earliest years of the Broadway Musical and its creators. We publish CDs, Music Scores, and related material.
Our first major project was a 2 CD set called Vintage Recordings from the 1903 Wizard of Oz for which we received a GRAMMY AWARD nomination as "Best Historical Album." Similar CDs are in the works and scheduled for later this year.
In our BLOG you will find much additional information including BLOGS devoted to specific shows, forgotten composers, contemporary articles, and much else, too. Keep checking back.
So Welcome! If you have any questions or special requests we are always glad to help.
REVIEWS OF OUR CDs
"Impeccably researched, illustrated and produced. A terrific job, which raises the standard bar for archival reconstruction from 78s and cylinders. The annotated booklet is superb and authoritative. . . a fascinating immersion into the lost world of musical theatre from 100 years ago. It is a "must have" CD set."

Author of A CHRONOLOGY OF AMERICAN MUSICAL THEATER"Here is a delightful collection of the sounds and nonsense of very early musical theater, made all the more fascinating and informative by the notes and photographs provided.

"This collection . . . is an extraordinary job of archival recreation. The material, mostly recordings close to 100 years old, is extremely rare, and producer David Maxine has somehow managed to locate it, discover dates and singers, and, in superbly organized and lucid liner notes, document when each song and singer performed it in one or another edition of the show . . . now is the perfect time for this collection of two-and-a-half hours of material from the first musical version of "The Wizard of Oz."
