"Time stops, hearts are young,
Only serenades are sung
In Loveland,
Where everybody lives to love.
Raindrops never rain,
Every road is Lovers' Lane
In Loveland,
Where everybody loves to live."
--Stephen Sondheim, "Follies", 1971
Yes, darlings, another birthday has been arrived at, and, with my beloved Monsieur, and all the great celebration plans, it is just like being in Loveland.....where I have been trying to get to, for years! The wait was well worth it!
So, what better way to commemorate my natal day than with this artistic Valentine from that most artistic of all Broadway musicals; the greatest, as far as I am concerned, Sondheim's "Follies?????"
Let's hope the entire year is Loveland, darlings, because there are some important events coming up, during it! Today, I am just going to relax like a housewife on break, put my feet up, read, and ponder the fact that I have made it this far!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As for "Loveland," why not share it with all of you? So, here it is, as performed by company of the superb 2011 (40th Anniversary!!!!) revival of "Follies," at the Marquis Theatre!!!!
Loveland, Loveland, girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
