With real-world adult responsibilities and challenges as its focus,
Closer Than Ever is a musical revue with lyrics by
Richard Maltby, Jr. and music by
David Shire. This intimate musical developed a cult following for its 1990 Off-Broadway original cast recording, featuring songs about aging, unrequited love, divorce, remarriage and feelings of security. The show returns Off-Broadway to the York Theatre at Saint Peter’s starring
Jenn Colella (
Urban Cowboy, High Fidelity),
George Dvorsky (
The Scarlet Pimpernel), 2010 Tony nominee
Christiane Noll (
Ragtime, Jekyll & Hyde) and
Sal Viviano (
The Full Monty). Lyricist-director Maltby helms this York Theatre Company production. For more on the show, click
