E.Y. "Yip" Harburg

We’re celebrating a birthday on this week’s Dress Circle (2/15 7:00 p.m.).Actually, we’re celebrating two birthdays. This week’s program begins our 43rd year as volunteer hosts of the Dress Circle, a fact of which we’re extremely proud. Since that, in itself, isn’t very musical, we’re also going to be celebrating the 121st birthday of Hyman Arluck who is better known as the fabulous composer of musicals and film songs, Harold Arlen.

We're celebrating the incredible talents of lyricist E.Y. Harburg through six of his Broadway musicals: "Finian's Rainbow," "Bloomer Girl," "Jamaica," "The Happiest Girl in the World," "Flahooley," and "Darling of the Day."
