    • Today’s theme is Get Happy and you just heard “Happy Talk” from the original cast album of South Pacific. Hopefully, today’s show will make you happy in one way or another.


    • The first set is about raising your happy energy. We begin with “A Wonderful Day Like Today” from The Roar of the Greasepaint - The Smell of the Crowd. Then Angela Lansbury tells us “It’s Today” from Mame. And we end with the cast of the film Gigi regaling us with “The Night They Invented Champagne”. Here we go with “A Wonderful Day Like Today”.

    • Today’s show is about getting happy. This set is very specific; shows you might have missed but with songs that might make you smile.


    • First, from Stephen Sondheim's first show, Saturday Night, the cast will sing “What More Do I Need?”. Then, we will be introduced to the Groucho Marx inspired “Samovar the Lawyer” from A Day In Hollywood/A Night In the Ukraine. And we will close out the set with Martin Short and Bernadette Peters singing “Paula (An Improvised Love Song)” from The Goodbye Girl. Lets Get Happy with “What More Do I Need?” from Stephen Sondheim's Saturday Night.
