A new musical revue from one of the most beloved songwriting duos of our time
After a lifetime spent creating some of musical theater’s funniest, and most soaring and heartwarming songs, Tony® winner Richard Maltby, Jr. and Oscar® and Grammy® winner David Shire return to the stage with their most personal and affecting show yet.
From long-ago love affairs to buried ambitions, to lost keys and tech-savvy grandkids, ABOUT TIME is a funny and touching new musical revue about life, love, and laughter in your third act.
