While August is quickly winding down, much of the country is still engulfed in an oppressive summer heat. Whether or not it's global warming (it's global warming), there is no escaping the Dog Days of Summer. So, for our monthly feature, Jeff Walker and I made the only tangentially related leap to take a look at our favorite showtunes about animals, dogs or otherwise. Take a look at what we came up with, and share yours in the comments below.

ONE of the world's most famous dogs is about to embark on a major stage musical at Limelight Theatre this June.

Four recent shows at Don't Tell Mama featured performers either making their debuts on the New York cabaret scene (Evelyn Sullivan and Erin McCracken) or who returned this spring in hopeful anticipation of sharing their artistic vision with audiences (Rob Sutton and Eve Eaton). They no doubt experienced the usual anxiety, trials and tribulations before ultimately taking the stage. And they've come out on the other side relatively unscathed. 

s three a crowd as he familiar adage claims? Fate, friendship and the calamities in passing a popcorn box collide at In Tandem Theatre this spring. Without one word of dialogue, the 1999 musical Little By Little revisits the intricacies to falling in and out of love when three childhood friends grow up and out into the world.
