Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman were an integral part of the Walt Disney family where they were known simply as “The Boys.” Most people will recognize some of their songs like “It’s a Small World” and “Chim Chim Cher-ee,” but on this week’s Dress Circle (1/19 7:00 p.m.), we’re going to be looking at some of their songs from stage and screen with which listeners might not be familiar or know that they wrote them.

“Calendar art” strikes again, and on this week’s Dress Circle (1/12 7:00 p.m.) we’re getting seasonal by looking at songs from stage and screen musicals that have to do with all things winter. We might not be getting too much snow in our area, but this Sunday night, we’ll have enough snow, ice, and cold to make every winter-lover happy.

Happy 2025! At least, we’re hoping that it will be for everyone. We’re welcoming January as we always do on The Dress Circle (1/5 7:00 p.m.) with songs from just a few of the shows that opened this month.

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.

Many of us miss the days of original musicals generally performed live on television, but on this week’s Dress Circle (12/15 7:00 p.m.), we’re going to give you the chance to relive five of them through selections for their scores.

On last week’s Dress Circle, we played several instrumental pieces, and you kindly let us know that you liked to hear orchestral versions of musicals, so on this week’s program (12/8 7:00 p.m.), we’ll hear symphonic suites from five shows with which you are mostly likely familiar.

Another year has just about come to an end, and we’ll begin this final month with our regular feature on this week’s Dress Circle (12/1 7:00 p.m.) as we listen to a few of the shows that had openings in New York in December. From Victor Herbert’s “Mlle. Modiste” in 1905 to our latest opening for which we have a cast recording, 2023’s “How to Dance in Ohio,” we’ll be sampling songs from shows spanning 118 years.

Many of us are making our preparations for Thanksgiving, and since the day of family, friends, eating, parades, and football is coming fast upon us, this week’s Dress Circle (11/24 7:00 p.m.) will offer some “turkeys’ for the holiday. Those turkeys are musicals that didn’t run more than ten performances on Broadway, many through no fault of their own.

We’re continuing with our series of programs to prepare you for Thanksgiving and the holidays beyond on this week’s Dress Circle (11/17 7:00 p.m.). So far, we’ve looked at “home for the holidays,” and this week, we’re going to be looking at the things we’re truly thankful for: friends.
