Stevie Holland will bring back her one-woman musical, Love, Linda to the Triad Theatre for an open-ended run beginning March 3. Ben West will direct.

Written by Holland and Gary William Friedman, the piece is based on the life of the woman who married the songwriter Cole Porter at the dawn of the roaring twenties, a marriage that lasted for 35 years. The score for the show includes such beloved Porter songs as “So in Love,” “In the Still of the Night,” “Love for Sale” and “Night and Day.” Since its initial run, the book and musical numbers have been expanded and additional songs have been added.

The production features costume design by Pamela Dennis, and jewelry by Verdura, whose designs were worn by iconic women such as Katharine Hepburn and Greta Garbo. Cole and Linda Porter were among the designer’s top clients.
