A smart, funny, sophisticated and moving evening, and a fascinating look at "the songs that got away."
Overview
Two single strangers, left alone in their studio apartments on a Saturday night, pass their time with sweetly secret, unshared fantasies, never knowing that they're just a floor away from each other and the end of their lonely dreams.
Together they breathe new theatrical life and meaning into a collection of trunk songs that were culled from the final productions of Anyone Can Whistle, Follies, Company, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, and A Little Night Music.
Critic reviews
Perhaps songs like ‘Can That Boy Foxtrot!’, ‘Saturday Night’ and ‘Happily Ever After’ will help Sondheim fans forgive the weak plot, but if you’re looking to enjoy the composer’s work as part of a decent storyline, perhaps this isn’t the best place to start
