If you hadn’t noticed, July just happened recently. To welcome it on this week’s Dress Circle (7/6 7:00 p.m.), we’re looking at some of the musicals that have opened in New York this month. We don’t have an exhaustive list, but we were still able to amass a baker’s dozen of songs that span 157 years of musical history.

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.

February is another lean month for New York musical openings, but we’re still going to sample songs from ten of them on this week’s Dress Circle (2/2 7:00 p.m.) spanning 114 years of Broadway history.

We've combined the New York musical openings for July and August (for some reason) and arrived at a playlist of 11 shows spanning 153 years of Broadway history. We've also decided to turn to the overtures or opening orchestral pieces to give a fuller sense of these scores.

Since it's the Fiscal Year End, we're looking to stage and screen songs about "money."

For the Memorial Day weekend, we've collected songs from several musicals with military themes. Some of them include "Yip Yip Yaphank," "This Is the Army," "Call Me Mister," and "Over Here!"

We're looking at 100 years of Broadway history on this week's Dress Circle as we look at some of the shows that opened in New York on this week's program. Our earliest show is "Step this Way" from 1916, and our most recent opening is the last musical to open in May, 2016's "Paramour" by Circque du Soliel.

This week's program is a little bit of calendar arts (and crafts) featuring songs about the sun and moon so that you can "build" your own eclipse!

This month's survey of New York openings covers 121 years of Broadway history from the long forgotten show "Sally in Our Alley" to the recently opened musical version of "Back to the Future" in a transfer from London's West End. Join us for another varied hour of excellent music and performances.

We're covering 123 years of theatre history on this week's program from 1899's "The Rounders" to 2022's revival of Stephen Sondheim's "Into the Woods" as we celebrate some of the shows that opened in New York in July.
