The Railroad Hour

One Touch of Venus

par

The Railroad Hour brings Broadway musicals and operettas to radio, presenting familiar stage works in a compact musical-theater format. Hosted by singer and actor Gordon MacRae, the program features a cast of performers and an orchestra, with songs and dramatic scenes shaping each broadcast.

Rather than simply playing a sequence of tunes, the show adapts its featured work for radio, using dialogue, music, and narration to carry the story. Its repertoire ranges across popular musicals and operettas, offering listeners a chance to hear celebrated songs alongside the dramatic context that gives them meaning.

The result is polished, melodic entertainment with the sweep of musical theater and the intimacy of a radio performance. This broadcast presents One Touch of Venus, bringing the show's musical storytelling to the airwaves.
