The end is nigh! Well, the end of the year, that is. Welcome to December, and to kick off the month of wishes and gifts, we’re going to be looking at a dozen musicals that opened in New York this month on this week’s Dress Circle (12/7 7:00 p.m.).
We’ll be looking at 125 years of musical history, from Victor Herbert’s “The Ameer” in 1899 through to the 2024 revival of “Gypsy” that starred Audra McDonald and Danny Burstein.
We’ll also hear from original cast members from “Show Boat” (Helen Morgan), “Promises, Promises” (Jill O’Hara & Jerry Orbach), “I Do! I Do!” (Mary Martin & Robert Preston), and “Out of This World” (Charlotte Greenwood).
Other shows include “Sally,” “The New Yorkers,” “The Music Box Revue,” and “Very Good Eddie.”
There’s one more, but you’ll just have to tune in to find out what that show is, and we can guarantee that it’s a good one!
