Putting It Together at The Colonial Players of Annapolis

Putting It Together
Words and Music by Stephen Sondheim    
Devised by Stephen Sondheim & Julia McKenzie
Orchestrations by Jonathan Tunick
Directed by Vincent Musgrave
Music Direction by Andrew Gordon

Drawing its title from a song in Sunday in the Park with George, this musical revue celebrates Sondheim's incomparable career in musical theater. Featuring nearly thirty Sondheim tunes, Putting It Together is set at an all-night, black-tie party in a penthouse, the hosts, an older couple face their disillusions and marital troubles; a younger, less jaundiced couple struggle with their feelings and desires, and a commentator oversees and influences the action. The spouses deal with infidelity and divorce but finally reconcile before dawn. With a bit of imagination, the guests transform the apartment into the stage of an abandoned theater, an estate in Sweden, an island outside of Paris, a street off the Forum, the woods of a fairy tale and a mythical town in the Southwest.
