Dorothy Fields

We’re turning to the first of two programs on this week’s Dress Circle (10/19 7:00 p.m.) that will feature some of our favorite songs from stage and screen musicals and soundtracks. Michael is up first, and he’s chosen 13 vastly different songs that really do express his rather eclectic tastes, and by no means is this even the tip of the iceberg of the list of his “favorites.”

Dorothy Fields came from a fantastic showbusiness family, and her career as a musical lyricist and book-writer lasted nearly five decades. We're going to celebrate her talents on this program with songs from fourteen of her shows, many of which feature standards from the over 400 songs she co-wrote,.
