It's time for the shows of February. and once again, we have tried to
offer a varied menu. Some of the shows which opened on
Broadway in February tonight include: DEAR WORLD, SILK
STOCKINGS, SQUONK OPERA, GOLDEN RAINBOW, and
REDHEAD.

Over the years, we have done many different takes on Valentine's Day
from the love songs of one composer to "The Valentine's Day
Massacre"! Tonight, it's about love again, and we have each
chosen some of our favorite love songs from musicals which
will include: 70, GIRLS, 70, VERY WARM FOR MAY, NAPOLEON,
CABARET, WEST SIDE STORY, MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG,
and FOLLIES among others.

Tonight's show is the one which we both love and hate to do.
Usually, in January, we look back at the previous year to
pay tribute to the performers, composers, and other members
of the performing arts whom we lost. We love doing this show
because it gives us a chance to say goodbye, but we hate
doing this show for the same reason. Some of those we
will be honoring tonight include Jane Russell, Cyril Ornadel,
Betty Garrett, Ken Russell, and John Barry.

Over the past two months we surveyed the American Operetta Kings
and took a look at some English translations of continental works.
Tonight, it's English again, but this time, purely English as we look
at works such as MERRY ENGLAND, THE ARCADIANS,
LILLY OF KILLARNEY, GLAMOROUS NIGHT, and THE
DANCING YEARS. Oh, there will be no Gilbert and Sullivan
tonight. They get their own show in the future.
