Synopsis
Winner of five 1973 Tony Awards including Best Musical, this tale of lost loves, secret yearnings, and scandalous affairs includes the unforgettable song “Send in the Clowns.” This Sondheim classic celebrates the desperations and delights of romantic attraction, as a cast of mismatched lovers try to find their way safely-if sometimes painfully-to a happy ending.
“…heady, civilized, sophisticated and enchanting. It is Dom Perignon. It is supper at Laserre. It is a mixture of Cole Porter, Gustav Mahler, Antony Tudor, and just a little of Ingmar Bergman. And it is more fun than any tango in a Parisian suburb.” -The New York Times
