A musical look at “How did you get to be here?,” this play traces the lives of a successful yet unfulfilled movie producer and his two closest friends back through each milestone of their personal and professional careers. Flashing back over twenty years (1976-1956), we explore aspiration and reality, compromise and dreams — fulfilled and unfulfilled. Stephen Sondheim and George Furth’s lively musical adaptation of the Kaufman and Hart play is a spirited illustration of the Shakespearean adage, “To thine own self be true.” Bring an old friend and recall some tuneful tips on growing up, and learn to dream again!

Directed by Andy Regiec; musical direction by Elisa Rosman; produced by Vanessa Priest.

Produced in arrangement with Music Theatre International, New York.
