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 at this age
You know, a little self-consious 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?
Let me read to you what it says on the back of the album, it says,
"Mishaps, mayhem, and a gay wedding"
Of course, the phrase gay wedding has a different meaning now
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 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!
