The revue “Closer Than Ever” will be performed by many familiar cast members from past BWTP shows, as well as some new faces. The songs of “Closer Than Ever” are linked by the theme of love and relationships in life, featuring solos, duets, trios and quartet vocal performances. It will be stage directed by Peter Baumgarten and musically directed by Ray Scott. The show is licensed through Musical Theatre International and is rated PG-13.
Music director Ray Scott says, “‘Closer Than Ever’ is a super show. The music and the lyrics are excellent. This is the kind of show we love to do - lots of fun, lots of laughs and a few tears, too.” Scott adds, “Plus, in a time where prices for everything are going up, our board of directors determined to keep our ticket prices the same. $25 a ticket is a steal of a deal.”
