The Mornington Players present, "Closer Than Ever"

A couple finding love the second time around.   A man celebrating the end of a life while a woman relishes bringing a new life to the world.  A trio of friends reuniting after a turbulent past.  A group of people praising and cursing the benefits and woes of a healthy lifestyle.  These are just a few of the characters you will meet in Closer Than Ever, Richard Maltby and David Shire’s award winning musical. 

Within this “bookless book musical” of the song cycle genre, Closer Than Ever offers self-contained songs which deal with such diverse adult themes as security, aging, mid-life crisis, second marriages, working couples, and unrequited love.  Featuring a supremely talented cast and a score that has been called “one of the finest of American musical theatre”, this show has something for anyone who has ever loved, lost, or been found.
