Three people step forward together, smiling and looking upward. The person in the center wears a brown suit and tie, while the person on the left wears a light pink blouse and skirt and the person on the right wears glasses and an argyle sweater vest. They are framed by a circular backdrop against a starry night background.

Directed by Matthew Gardiner, Sondheim's masterwork about friendship, ambition and the compromises that shape a life takes the Signature stage after a 20-year absence.

Told in reverse chronological order, the musical follows three longtime friends as they navigate idealism, loyalty and disappointment over the course of twenty years. The successes and failures of their adulthoods unwind as the cynicism of age erases back to the glowing optimism of youth. 

Crackling with wit and a rich musical score, Sondheim’s gem features the gorgeous songs “Our Time,” “Good Thing Going,” and “Not a Day Goes By.”

“Wonderful: sharp, cynical and funny, with a bright, brassy score.” – The Washington Post
