The Railroad Hour
Hit the Deck
von
The Railroad Hour brings Broadway musicals and operettas to radio in polished, condensed performances. Each broadcast adapts a stage work for the air, with a cast of singers and actors supported by orchestra and chorus.
Hosted by announcer and singer Gordon MacRae, the program is especially associated with musical-theater star Dorothy Kirsten. Its productions combine familiar songs, spoken scenes, and orchestral accompaniment, shaping a complete dramatic story within a radio broadcast.
The result is a bright, theatrical listening experience: romantic plots, lively musical numbers, and the sweep of a stage production presented through sound. This broadcast features Hit the Deck, a musical comedy whose songs and ensemble spirit make it a natural fit for the series.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
