Movie Night's weekend screening - 27th June Saturday, 5pm kick-off
In tonight's show on the website's weekly celebration of cinema, Andrew Collins is hosting a special tribute. The theme of the night is movie musicals, and the show will feature songs from various popular musicals, including The Sound of Music, West Side Story, and The Wizard of Oz.
Listeners can expect interesting arrangements of hits from Les Miserables and Frozen, as well as unique versions of songs from The Sound of Music, West Side Story, and The Wizard of Oz.
Emma Williams, a listener from Cambridgeshire, has played a significant role in shaping tonight's show. Her love for musicals has influenced the theme, and Andrew Collins will be highlighting this genre that Emma adores.
In addition to the musical numbers, Andrew Collins will also play the first ever radio play of Horner's most recent completed score, Southpaw, a new boxing drama starring Jake Gyllenhaal.
The second half of the show will pay tribute to James Horner, a double Oscar-winning composer who recently passed away. Horner's greatest scores, including those from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Titanic, Avatar, Aliens, Cocoon, Apollo 13, and A Beautiful Mind, will be celebrated.
James Horner had popular collaborations with director James Cameron and a long-standing working partnership with director Ron Howard. His music has added an emotional depth to many beloved films, and his loss will be felt deeply by the film industry.
Tonight's show is a fitting tribute to both the genre of movie musicals and the life and work of James Horner. Don't miss it!
