The next Musical Theatre Melodies broadcast, hosted by Rob Morrison on 96.5 Inner FM on Tuesday, October 26 will pay tribute to the Academy, Grammy and Ivor Novello Award-winning composer, lyricist, librettist and screenwriter, Leslie Bricusse (who passed away at his home in the South of France last week at the age of 90).
By the time he died, aged 90, Leslie Bricusse was the composer and lyricist for over forty blockbuster musicals on stage and screen - being nominated for ten Oscars, winning two, in the process.
