Hairspray

It’s been a very strange summer so far, but it’s moving along, and we’re going to be welcoming the final full month of summer by looking at some of the shows that opened in New York in August on this week’s Dress Circle (8/3 7:00 p.m.). As we do this, we’ll be looking at shows that span 138 years of musical history.

With everything going on, we’re looking everywhere we can to find some happiness, and, of course, we turned to the musicals, and on this week’s Dress Circle (7/20 7:00 p.m.), we’ve compiled a playlist of some of the songs that make us happy.

This program looks at some of the musicals that have opened in New York during the month of August in a survey covering 115 years.
