Notes: | music and lyrics by Cole Porter; book by Stevie Holland and Gary William Friedman | |||||
Synopsis: | With music and lyrics by Cole Porter and book by Stevie Holland and Gary William Friedman, Love, Linda stars Stevie Holland as Linda Porter, the Southern beauty who married the legendary songwriter Cole Porter at the dawn of the roaring twenties. Although Cole Porter was gay, their companionship and love lasted through 35 years of marriage and together they lived a spectacular, glamour-filled life. The score for Love, Linda includes such beloved Porter songs as "So in Love," "In the Still of the Night," "Love for Sale," and "Night and Day." Woven through the compelling narrative of Love, Linda, these songs, and lesser-known Porter gems, unite to tell the story of Linda and Cole's unconventional relationship and great love for each other. | |||||

| Hattie Maloney, a nightclub singer in Panama City, tries to fit into the elite world of the American colony to which her fiance, a single parent, Nick Bullett, belongs. Her prospective marriage to Nick hinges on the approval of his precocious 8-year-old daughter, Gerry, as well as that of his boss. Gerry has been chaperoned on her trip from the States by Vivian Budd a "gentleman's gentleman" who gets bent to the breaking point by the wiles of Hattie's best friend Florrie. Nick's boss, an Army officer/engineer, Whitney Randolph, and the girls in the Canal "social set" prove even harder to win over than does Gerry. So what's needed are some major heroics and that is supplied when a plot to blow up the canal is foiled. Helping thwart the "enemy" are three less-than-robust soldiersWoozy, Skat, and Windy (William Nash). Songs include: "I've Still Got My Health," "We Detest a Fiesta," "Make It Another Old-Fashioned, Please," and "Let's Be Buddies." | |||||
