TWN's Stephen Sondheim's Putting it Together

A cocktail-party of love, loss and sizzling lyric-wit. Set in one elegant evening at a glittering Manhattan penthouse, Putting It Together brings together two couples – one older and long-married, the other younger and just discovering the world – under the watchful eye of an enigmatic narrator. ? Across one night, champagne flows and façades crack as relationships unravel, secrets surface and the truth becomes unavoidable. Through the rich catalogue of Sondheim songs—from the razor-sharp “The Ladies Who Lunch” to the quietly aching “Being Alive” and the slyly tender “Could I Leave You?”—the show reflects on ambition, desire, regret and the uneasy pleasure of connection. ? “This revue of Sondheim numbers … is a feast of pleasure delivered with real verve.”- The Guardian ? “The songs — with their supersophisticated lyrics and ultracivilised melodies … reaffirm Sondheim’s supremacy in his field.”--Los Angeles Times ? “If someone were to ask me to describe … this revue … in one word, I would have to say ‘SLICK’! … Sondheim’s classical lyrics (and music) truly come alive.” -Around the Town Chicago
