2019 collection. Actor, singer and dancer extraordinaire, Gwen Verdon is undoubtedly one of the most iconic figures in the history of the Broadway musical. In an astounding career spanning eight decades, Verdon achieved success on every platform of the performing arts, from film and television to recording and of course the stage where she originated some of musical theatre's most iconic characters, from Lola in 'Damn Yankees' to Charity in 'Sweet Charity' and Roxie Hart in 'Chicago'. The recipient of four Tony Awards and an inductee of the American Theatre Hall of Fame, Verdon's career on stage is unparalleled. As a recording artist, Verdon only issued one solo album, the 1956 recording The Girl I Left Home For. Accompanied by Joe Reisman and his Orchestra, the album effectively showcases Verdon as not just an exemplary performer on stage but as a song stylist and gifted recording artist. Alongside The Girl I Left Home For, this collection is complemented by Verdon's performances from the cast albums of 'Damn Yankees', 'New Girl In Town' and 'Redhead' (roles in which she was awarded the Tony for 'Best Actress In A Musical'). Gwen's life with choreographer/filmmaker Bob Fosse is the focus of a 2019 series on FX entitled Fosse/Verdon.
