Hollywood Piano (Burbank, CA)
Told entirely through songs, Closer Than Ever has been described as a “bookless show musical.” But don’t let the lack of traditional dialogue trick you into thinking this musical lacks a story. The show’s songs — with lyrics by Richard Maltby, Jr. (Fosse, Miss Saigon) and music by David Shire (Big: the musical) — deal with topics like aging, unrequited love, friendships and mid-life crises. The New York Times celebrated the show as having, “one of the half-dozen finest American theater scores of the last decade” and it won the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway Musical. Inspired by real-life experiences, Closer Than Ever‘s message to value the little things in life remains as meaningful today as ever.
