Keen Company Benefit Weds Stars with Sondheim

On Monday November 18th at New York's Symphony Space  (2537 Broadway at 95^th Street) will host a one night only benefit concert of Stephen Sondheim's Marry Me A Little for Off-Broadway's Keen Company. The event starts at 7 PM ET.

A recent press release describes the concert:

"Keen’s reunion celebration will bring back the revised material from its 2012 Drama League nominated production and will feature its original stars Lauren Molina and Jason Tam.  Joining the original cast will be additional stars breathing new life into the musical’s rarely performed Sondheim songs including Philippe Arroyo and Zachary Noah Piser playing second couple and Morgan Siobhan Green and Nik Walker playing third couple. Broadway favorites John Cariani and Melissa Errico round out the cast.

Two single strangers left alone in their studio apartments on a Saturday night, pass their time with sweetly secret, shared fantasies, never knowing that they’re just a floor away from each other and the end of their lonely dreams. These charming and poignant musical features Sondheim’s trunk songs cut from the final productions of Company, A Little Night Music, Anyone Can Whistle, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, as well as rarely performed songs from the TV show “Evening Primrose” and a never completed film version of Into the Woods, among others.

Marry Me a Little has music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim.  It is conceived and developed by Craig Lucas and Norman Rene.  Musical Direction is by John Bell, and it is directed by Jonathan Silverstein, Artistic Director of Keen Company.
