George and Ira Gershwin

We hope you’re enjoying your holiday weekend, and on this week’s Dress Circle (8/31 7:00 p.m.), we’re hoping to add to that enjoyment with “work” songs for Labor Day. The fourteen songs we've programmed include physical work, allegorical work, mental work, and more.

We’re airing equal time on this week’s Dress Circle (8/17 7:00 p.m.) as we look at duets written for two male characters from the musicals.

This week’s Dress Circle (6/8 7:00 p.m.) is a return to one of our favorite topics, “Involuntary Musical Imagery” otherwise known as stuck song syndrome, sticky music, and cognitive itch, or, as the Germans call them, orhwurm. Of course, their earworms. Those pesky songs that you love to hate. You hear them, and they stay with you for a very long time afterwards.

We're covering 114 years of April Broadway openings on this week's program beginning in 1910 with "Molly May" through one of the nine shows opening this year, "Lempicka."
