Performances will run for four weekends, July 21 – August 12, 2023
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, Book by George Furth. Directed by Roy Hammond, Produced by Malca Giblin, Musical Direction by Joe Biddle, Choreography by Rikki Lacewell
The show tells the story of how three friends’ lives and friendships change over 20 years; it focuses particularly on Franklin Shepard, a talented composer of musicals who, over those 20 years, abandons his friends and songwriting career to become a producer of Hollywood movies. Like the play on which it is based, the show’s story moves backward in time. It begins in 1976 at the friends’ lowest moment and ends in 1957, at their youthful best.
