Closer Than Ever December 6, 2008

By Richard Maltby Jr. & David Shire Director: RenA(C) Moreno Music Director: James McQuillen Lyricist Richard Maltby Jr. and composer David Shire (the team behind the musicals Big, Baby and Starting Here, Starting Now) fashioned this delicious musical revue with songs that stand alone—each a mini-musical in itself—but also add up to a unifying theme of growing up, falling in love, and trying to hold on to happiness through life’s curves and changes, from the bawdy hilarity of “Miss Byrd” to the poignant longing of “She Loves Me Not.” Director Rene Moreno, noted for his work on major dramas including CTD’s A Streetcar Named Desire, takes a lighter turn with Closer Than Ever. When: December 5-31, 2008
