Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim Book by George Furth
February 8 - March 16, 2008 %u2022 In the Howard Drew Theatre
The clashing sounds and pulsing rhythms of New York City underscore this landmark "concept musical," considered by many to have inaugurated the modern era of musical theatre. Bobby is everybody's favorite friend and he's single. Join Bobby and his unforgettable married friends as they try to find him the perfect girl and figure out what makes a perfect relationship. This winner of five Tony Awards including Best Musical is an honest, sophisticated look at relationships, with a brilliant and energetic score containing many of Sondheim's best-known songs including "The Ladies Who Lunch" and "Being Alive."
