Synopsis

Starting Here, Starting Now’ is a musical revue using the songs of Richard Maltby, Jr. and David Shire. The revue takes a cast of three through the maze of modern relationships with its heart firmly on its sleeve. As with all of Maltby and Shire’s work, each song is an impeccably crafted story, original, engaging, bursting with character, and showcasing the versatility and charisma of its performer. While the show runs continuously from song to song without dialogue, there are subtle mini-plots provided by the authors to maintain a feeling of forward motion throughout the evening. *Cast members use their own names.
