If modern life had a soundtrack, it would be a lot like this humorous and poignant musical revue. Closer Than Ever explores life, love, careers, and family through the music and lyrics of Richard Maltby and David Shire, the award-winning talents behind shows such as Miss Saigon, Baby¸and Ain’t Misbehavin’.
Each musical number is its own story. You’ll meet a man who spends a night on a rooftop, in the rain, wondering What Am I Doin’? (falling madly in love, of course). Then there’s Miss Byrd, an unassuming real estate agent with a very saucy secret life. In Fathers of Fathers, you’ll share the joys and challenges of fatherhood, from both sides of the generational divide. Have you ever ended a relationship with the question, ‘Can we still be friends?’ You Want To Be My Friend? is one scorned woman’s hilarious answer. Directed by Elise Wilkinson, with musical direction by Marty Gregory, Closer Than Ever features the vocal talents of Joseph Klosek, Lisa Smith, Jerry Colbert, Amy Van Looy, and Dan Brunson.
Closer Than Ever will be performed at Spirit Square’s Duke Power Theatre (345 N. College Street), with cabaret-style seating. Performances take place February 28 through March 15. Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings at 8:00 pm
Sunday, March 9th at 2:30 pm
Wednesday, March 12th at 8:00 pm
