I was one of the lighting assistants for the world premiere of The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins, and what a great experience that was! For some reason, the song "I Was Happy to Know You" came into my head this evening, and I was wishing I could hear it again. Imagine my delight when my internet search turned up this page with not only music from the show, but photos and pages from the program as well. (It was fun to read through the names in the program and see my name in there again...) Thank you for sharing all of this!
