The Happy Time (musical)

The Happy Time is a musical with music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb, and a book by N. Richard Nash loosely based on a 1950 hit Broadway play, The Happy Time by Samuel A. Taylor, which was in turn based on stories by Robert Fontaine. The story had also been made into a 1952 film version.

The original 1968 Broadway production was directed and choreographed by Gower Champion, who won Tony Awards in each category.

    Happy are your wives! Happy are these your servants, who continually attend you and hear your wisdom!

    Hear the soft bombs of dust
    It bursts against us at the chimney mouth,
    And at the eaves. I like it from inside
    More than I shall out in it. But the horses
    Are rested and it’s time to say Good-night,
    And let you get to bed again,
