ABOUT THE SHOW
SONDHEIM'S GAME CHANGING MUSICAL IS A SOPHISTICATED AND HONEST LOOK AT MODERN, ADULT RELATIONSHIPS
​
On the night of his 35th birthday, confirmed bachelor Robert contemplates his unmarried state. Over the course of a series of dinners, drinks and even a wedding, his friends explain the pro's and con's of taking a spouse. The habitually single Robert is forced to question his adamant retention of bachelorhood during a hilarious array of meetings and songs.
