Hello

How are we today?

A little quiet?

I'm feeling a little blue myself

You know

A little anxious for no particular reason

A little sad that I should feel anxious in this age

You know, a little self-conscious anxiety

Resulting in non-specific sadness

A state that I call "blue"

Anyway

Whenever I'm feeling this way -

Blue -

I like to listen to my music

So I was going through my box of records this morning

Yes, records

And what did I find but one of my favorite shows

Gable and Stein's "The Drowsy Chaperone"!

Remember?

Music by Julie Gable, Lyrics by Sidney Stein

Let me read to you what it says on the back of the album

It says, "Mixups, mayhem, and a gay wedding!"

Well- of course, the phrase "gay wedding"

Has a different meaning now, but

But back then, it just meant "fun"

And that's just what this show is

Fun

Now

Let's visualize!

Imagine, if you will

It's November 1928

You've just arrived at the doors of the Belasco Theater in New York

It's very cold

And a heavy grey sleet is falling from the sky

But you don't care

Because you're going to see a Broadway show!

Listen!

- It's already the end -
