Orange County Register

“ A lovely, earnest delivery, polished performances, and excellent pacing ”

Back Stage

We kick off our 2005 Season with the Orange County Premiere of a steady stream of showstoppers by the award-winning duo of Maltby and Shire. Every song in this highly-acclaimed off-Broadway musical revue tells an intimate, insightful story of relationships in the modern world from the point of view of people on the edge of life. As winner of the 1989 Outer Critics Circle Awards for Best Off-Broadway Musical and Best Score, this collection of “songs of experience” is a must see.
