Do I Hear A Waltz

Do I Hear A Waltz





The musical adapataion of the play The Time of the Cuckoo by Richard Rodgers, Stephen Sondheim and Arthur Laurents


Story:

Leona, an unmarried American secretary “of a certain age,” goes on a vacation to Venice where, under the spell of that enchanted city, she falls in love. The gentleman is an attractive, middle-aged shopkeeper, whose attentions give flight to her deepest dreams of romance. Too soon, however, he openly informs her that he is a contented family man, and Leona's hopes are dashed. She can, for a short time, harness romance, yet realizes that such a relationship would have nowhere to go. Still, might it be better than never having loved at all?
