Closer Than Ever at Manoa Valley Theatre

Each song in this brilliant and tuneful musical revue is a story: an intimate, insightful tale about love, security, and happiness, and holding onto them in a world that pulls you in a hundred directions at once. Composers Maltby and Shire bring their celebrated craft and contemporary sensibility to songs about aging, mid-life crisis, second marriages, and role reversals with parents, as well as wicked satirical jabs at Muzak, working couples and unrequited love. These twenty-four funny, wise and witty "songs of experience" are sure to delight lovers of all ages.
