It’s a sixties song fest with Covedale’s “Why Do Fools Fall in Love?”

The Covedale Center for the Performing Arts season continues as the musical Why Do Fools Fall in Love? by Roger Bean opens on Thursday, February 28, featuring a whole jukebox of sixties hits, including “My Boy Lollipop,” “I Will Follow Him,” “You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me,” “Hey There, Lonely Boy” and many more, including the title song, “Why Do Fools Fall In Love?”
