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:
“And happy lines! on which, with starry light,
Those lamping eyes will deign sometimes to look,”
—Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)
“I swear to keep the dead upon my mind,/Disdain for all time to be overglad./Among spring flowers, under summer trees./By chilling autumn waters, in the frosts/Of supercilious winter—all my days/I’ll have as mentors those reproving ghosts.”
