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.

We've combined a bit of silliness with calendar art for this week's program as we scheduled fifteen marches from a variety of sources (Broadway, Hollywood, television) to celebrate the month of March - even though none of the marches really have anything to do with the month.

We're looking at fourteen songs from shows that opened in New York in March that span 112 years of musical theatre history from "The Pink Lady" to the revival of "Sweeney Todd."
