Denise and I met during a production of "Sweet Charity" in 2005. I played two roles in the show--Vittorio Vidal in the first act, and Big Daddy Brubeck in the second act. She was incredible as Helene, dancing and singing (among other things) a duet called "Baby, Dream Your Dream." Here is the song, from the Broadway revival of the same year:
Here are some of the lyrics:
"Baby, Dream Your Dream.After years of searching, heartbreak, and being shaped by our individual lives, we found each other. After three years of incredibly fun times, long talks, and hard work getting to know one another, we are living 'frozen peaches and cream'. :o)
Close your eyes and try it.
Dream of furniture;
Dream that I can buy it.
That fancy bed you prayed for,
Not only bought but paid for.
Dream we sign the lease,
Leave a small deposit;
Three and one-half rooms
With a walk-in closet.
We'll ask the local Jet-set
To dine on our dinette-set
Right across the street,
There's a friendly bank.
You make a friendly loan,
And the bank says: "Thank you."
Ev'ry Saturday,
We'll spend all our money.
Join the P.T.A.;
They will love you, honey.
Life will be frozen peaches and cream.
Baby, dream Your Dream."
Join us here as we plan our wedding and embark on a life journey together.
