Putting It Together

This musical feast of Sondheim favorites weaves a lyrical tapestry around the emotions and relationships of five guests attending an elegant, and ultimately life- changing, cocktail party.   

 

Humorous, poignant, sexy, and sophisticated, this 'revue' like no other is the story of a mature couple, marriage precariously on the brink, who encounter love in blossom between two of the younger party guests.  As a mysterious 'observer' hosts the evening, an intricate, funny, and moving song-cycle evolves from the music of the foremost theatrical composer of our time.   

 

Directed by Brenda Didier.  Musical Direction by Austin Cook.  Presented at Theater Wit - 1229 W. Belmont in Chicago.  Thursdays & Fridays @ 7:30pm.  Saturdays @ 8pm.  Sundays @ 2pm & 6pm.  September 2 through October 16.
