About the Show
Winner of the 2024 Tony Award for Best Revival! The authors of the landmark musical Company reunite to turn the traditional showbiz musical on its head in this thrilling and compelling Broadway fable about friendship, compromise, and the high price of success. Starting in 1977 and told in reverse (ending in 1957), Sondheim and Furth expertly blend the excitement and energy of a backstage musical with a poignant and emotional contemporary story about the importance of staying true to one’s ideals.

About the Show
When Aaron is set up on a blind date with Casey, a casual drink turns into a hilarious high-stakes dinner. As the date unfolds, the couple quickly finds that they are not alone on this unpredictable evening when Casey and Aaron's inner critics take on a life of their own when other restaurant patrons transform into supportive best friends, manipulative exes and protective parents, who sing and dance them through ice-breakers, appetizers and potential conversational land mines. Can this couple turn what could be a dating disaster into something special before the check arrives?
