Take Me Along
written by
Written by Bob Merrill
directed by Kim Martin
Description
A musical comedy about an American family in a small town in Connecticut in 1906. It tells the story of a small-town newspaper editor who has become the hero of his community because of his championing the acquisition of a new modern fire engine. But his pride is tarnished when one of his advertisers condemns him because of the seductive and romantic poetry that his son has been reading to the advertiser's daughter. Throw in the story of the ne'er-do-well brother-in-law who never met a boss nor a booze he could tolerate, and you have one of the most charming musicals to come off the Broadway stage in the late 1950's and early '60's.
Songs in the show include the well-known "Take Me Along", as well as the comedic "Sid Ol' Kid", "Staying Young", "Promise Me a Rose", and "Little Green Snake", among many others. The show also includes two rip-roaring chorus dance numbers, so this will be a memorable summer event at the Baytown Little Theater.

Oh, please!
A thoroughly moder-an fire fighting machine
Hey, kid! Why don't you blow me a bubble?
It'll be fine, Lily.
Sid old kid, you're back!
I'll bring Uncle Sid home, if it has to be in a wheelbarrow!
A home of my own ...
That girl needs a petticoat!
Stay away from my daughter!
Mystery, magic, passion ... and all for seven bucks!
The nightmare begins
The nightmare circus
It's true love!
Six George Sands?
The tug of war between good and evil!
Meanwhile we're dancing at the 4th of July Picnic!!
The kids join in the fun, too!
Lil, my lady -- still my lady!
