Film Musical

We know that spring sprang last month, but it seems as though all of the flowers bloomed around here this week (at least, that’s what our eyes and sinuses have been telling us). Since that’s the case, we thought we’d honor spring springing with a program of “spring” songs on this week’s Dress Circle (4/27 7:00 p.m.).

Sometimes, one just needs a place, a special place to find solace and comfort, and we’re going to look at fourteen of our favorite places to escape on this week’s Dress Circle (4/20 7:00 p.m.).

March is almost over, but we’re still in time for one of the monthly celebrations on this week’s Dress Circle (3/30 7:00 p.m.): celebrating Foreign Language Month! We’ve dug through out collection to come up with fourteen songs from English language musicals from foreign casts.

We’re doing our best to prepare you for Valentine’s Day on this week’s Dress Circle (2/9 7:00 p.m.) as we turn to the musicals for songs about the city of romance, Paris.

Sadly, we won’t be hearing from any Quokkas on this week’s Dress Circle (12/29 7:00 p.m.) even if they are said to be the happiest animals on the planet, but what we will have is a program of “happy” songs to get you prepared for a Happy New Year.

It’s time again for the ghosts to visit, and this year, we’re being visited by some Programs of Christmas Past on this week’s Dress Circle (12/22 7:00 p.m.) as we look at some listener favorites from past programs featuring songs from stage and screen musicals.

Trick or treating is almost here (we’re hoping for the latter), and on this week’s Dress Circle (10/27 7:00 p.m.) we’re taking a look at a dozen songs from stage and screen apropos of the season.

Bing Crosby only appeared on Broadway once, and there was no recording from that concert with his second family and a few friends in 1976, so on this week’s Dress Circle (9/29 7:00 p.m.) we’re turning to some of his film songs to fill the hour.

We're celebrating the composing skills of James "Jimmy" McHugh who wrote over 500 songs during his career in the early part of the 20th century, may of them still considered standards. He wrote for stage and screen as well as well as many "pop" standards.

While we were working on a previous program, we got the idea for a playlist of songs from the musicals about "dreams," and we've mined fifteen musicals from stage and screen to fill that list.
