"A landmark musical. . . . A work of art."—The New York Times
On the eve of a once-glorious theater's destruction, all of life's might-have-beens take center stage as two jaded couples glamorize the old days in what proves to be a shattering experience. This classic musical by visionaries Stephen Sondheim and James Goldman returned to Broadway in fall 2011 starring Bernadette Peters, Jan Maxwell, and Elaine Paige.
Stephen Sondheim is the lyricist for West Side Story and Gypsy and the composer/lyricist for Sunday in the Park with George, Company, A Little Night Music, Sweeney Todd, and many others.
James Goldman was a playwright, novelist, lyricist, and screenwriter. His plays include The Lion in Winter; They Might Be Giants; Blood, Sweat and Stanley Poole; and the musical A Family Affair.
