From the team that brought us Assassins and Pacific Overtures, Road Showis based on the true story of the Mizner Brothers. Featuring Obie-winning music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim after being developed at the New York Theatre Workshop and the Goodman Theatre in Chicago in its previous incarnations.
From the Alaskan Gold Rush in the 1890s to the Florida real estate boom in the 1930s, Road Show is the story of men and women in late nineteenth century America, willing to take risks to grab their piece of the American Dream. Spanning 40 years, Road Show specifically focuses on Addison and Wilson Mizner, two brothers who are constantly looking for the next way to strike it rich. This quest turns into a test of morality and judgment for the two brothers that will change their lives in unexpected ways.
The latest offering from American musical theater staple, Stephen Sondheim, Road Show, directed by Nick Montesano with Musical Direction by Jeff Brown, will strike a chord with audiences looking for a skillfully written, intelligent piece of musical theatre history.
