The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

Excellent. Thanks.

"What's It All About - Bacharach Reimagined" and the 2014 Lucille Lortel Awards (for Off-Broadway excellence). Only now did I learn about this, so maybe this is news to someone. Nominees and Recipients: http://www.lortelaward.com/2014nominees More info about the very heavy-weight nominees:...

Being reaired. Originally from 2005. I really enjoyed it.

Syfy premiered the thriller Helix, yesterday. You'll see below that Burt's music is mentioned in relation to it. What is the song? Is it really a theme song? When is it played? Any info at all? (Syfy's website will provide access to the the first episode to people in the US and maybe some other coun...

In the first two minutes of the following interview, David Joyce talks about Burt:
