"Addison Mizner and Wilson Mizner were brothers who, although
they played only a minor role in the cultural history of this
country, might well be seen to represent two divergent aspects of
American energy: the builder and the squanderer."--Stephen
Sondheim
"The score is full of delights, intelligence and tension . . .
with a tight, funny book."--New York Daily News
Road Show, Stephen Sondheim's first musical since his 1994 Tony
Award-winner Passion, is making its highly anticipated New York
premiere this season at the Public Theater. The show--with the book
by John Weidman, Sondheim's collaborator from Pacific Overtures and
Assassins--has been in development for several years with
productions in Chicago and Washington, DC, and grew from an idea
that germinated in Sondheim's mind some fifty years ago. The show
dramatizes the real-life Mizner brothers, following their fortunes
from the 1890s Alaskan gold rush to the 1920s Florida land boom:
Addison as an architect and Wilson as a con man, each brother
seeking his own American dream.
Stephen Sondheim's career spans from his work as lyricist for
West Side Story and Gypsy, to composer/lyricist on such
masterpieces as Company, Follies, A Little Night Music, Sweeney
Todd, and Sunday in the Park with George.
John Weidman wrote the books for Sondheim's Pacific Overtures
and Assassins, and he co-authored the books for America's
Sweetheart and the revival of Anything Goes. He also co-created,
with Susan Stroman, the Tony Award-winning Contact.
