August is Happiness Happens month, and nothing makes us happier than a musical, so on this week’s Dress Circle (8/25 7:00 p.m.), we’re looking to fourteen songs about happiness from a variety of musicals.

Broadway lovers are all buzzing since it was announced that Kristen Chenoweth would be coming back in a new Stephen Schwartz musical during the 2025-2026 season. Starring opposite F. Murray Abraham, she'll be Jackie Siegel in a musical adaptation of the documentary "The Queen of Versailles" which seems to be about the Siegels and their difficulties in trying to build their $100,000,000 home in Orlando, Florida. To that end, we'll be sampling songs from many of her stage appearances such as "Wicked" as well as a few of her solo CDs.

The composing team of Jay Livingston and Ray Evans don't have name recognition, but their songs are known by many, and we'll sample 17 of them on from Broadway, Hollywood, and television on this week's program. You're sure to know songs like, the theme from "Mr. Ed" and "Dear Heart" even if you don't know their creators' names.

This program features Sinatra singing songs from eleven of the films with which he was associated and even includes a song from his short stint in "Carousel."

This is the third program of CD bonus tracks. This time, it's the second program of some special tracks that we found on CDs of stage and television musicals.

This program is the first of two that will sample some of the myriad bonus tracks added to the CDs of stage and television musicals from cut songs, to demos, to pop covers of songs in the scores, to interviews.

This program features a series of songs giving "thanks" from stage, screen, and television musicals.
