A Show Tune for Today

Beloved theatre critic Peter Filichia has created a treasure for the ages with A Show Tune for Today, a whimsical day-by-day calendar?one that can be used again and again, in any year?for musical theatre buffs. Across 366 bite-size entries, Filichia dispenses anecdotes, observations, fun facts, and other confections tied to a single song, perfect for starting each day. Whether tied to a show?s opening date (August 6: ?You'll Be Back? / Hamilton), holidays (December 25: ?A Christmas Song? / Elf), historic dates (August 21: the actual date of ?The Night That Goldman Spoke in Union Square? in 1893 from Ragtime), lyrics (March 2: when Camelot insists winter exits on the dot), or connections more surprising, each entry provides a light delight to put a spring in your step, every day of the year.
