My Shining Hour: A Tribute to the Music of Harold Arlen

When someone was heard singing “Over the Rainbow” in a locker room recently, it inspired a roomful of clammy, half-naked people to comment. One rightly called it “a good song for when things aren’t so great”; another mistakenly described it as “a Judy Garland song.” Though Judy made it famous, it’s actually a Harold Arlen song. Arlen, the American songwriter who made many of the musicals of the 1930s and 40s so enduring, wrote for Garland, Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, and Louis Armstrong, among others. Here, singers Christine Rosholt, Bruce Henry, and Connie Olson, backed by the Rick Carlson Trio, pay homage. 1800 Old Shakopee Rd. W., Bloomington; 952-563-8575; www.bloomingtoncivictheatre.org
