Richard Rodgers & Masterworks Broadway Resurface “Androcles & The Lion”

We have resurfaced from the MWB vault the 1967 television special Androcles and the Lion based on the George Bernard Shaw play. This wonderful piece recounts the story of Androcles, the simple-hearted Christian tailor whose friendship with a lion saves himself and his friends from martyrdom in the Roman Colosseum. Set to music by Richard Rodgers, the cast includes British comedian Norman Wisdom as Androcles, Noel Coward as Caesar and features Ed Ames, John Cullum and Geoffrey Holder.
