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.

Famous quotes containing the words happy and/or time:
“It doesn’t make any difference how much money a father earns, his name is always Dad-Can-I.... Like all other children, my five have one great talent: they are gifted beggars. Not one of them ever ran into the room, looked up at me, and said, “I’m really happy that you’re my father, and as a tangible token of my appreciation, here’s a dollar.””
—Bill Cosby (20th century)
“And in the mean time my songs will travel,
And the devirginated young ladies will enjoy them
when they have got over the strangeness,”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
