Closer Than Ever is a show about life, love, sex, and those unexpected events that touch our lives. J. William Bruce directs this musical revue, with lyrics by Richard Maltby, Jr and music by David Shire. Musical direction is by Bill Lewis.
"Director J. William Bruce stages each song as a playlet, smartly taking advantage of each piece's theatricality. Without microphones to worry about he's free to indulge in some clever staging, especially in comic numbers like "The Sound of Muzak", which spoofs the technological advances we really don't need and "Fandango", an amusing morning dance performed by a married couple of go-getters when the sitter cancels and each needs to the other to watch the baby." -- Michael Dale, Broadwayworld.com
