Where Did the Good Times Go?

This article is about the song from the Broadway musical. For the Dick and Dee Dee song, see Dick and Dee Dee.

"Where Did the Good Times Go?" is, what is popularly termed, the "big ballad" or "11 o'clock number" from the musical Over Here!, which opened on Broadway at the Shubert Theatre (Broadway) on March 6, 1974. The song is the penultimate moment of drama when all seems lost toward the end of the second act. The song was somewhat successful as a single for Patty Andrews, who debuted the song in the show.

The song was written by Robert B. Sherman and Richard M. Sherman.

Differences between the LP and CD master

The recording on both the LP and the single are mixed without hi-hat. In 1992 when the Original cast CD was released, the hi-hat was suddenly apparent in the recording. It is most likely that the hi-hat was always present in the mix, but just not loud enough to be heard. It was probably boosted in the remix and subsequent remastering.
