Auditions will be held at the Playshop, 15 Lovers Lane in Wilton, on Sunday, August 28, at 7 pm, and Monday, August 29, at 7:30 pm.
During its 1999 Broadway run, Putting It Together was billed as a âreview,â rather than a ârevue.â Not a straight revue or compilation of Sondheim songs, it tells a story of sorts through the use of Sondheim songs from various shows from Forum to Assassins, with only a few spoken words and a brief monologue.
Set at a cocktail party in a fashionable Manhattan apartment, the story involves a mature husband with roaming eyes, his wife, and a younger man and woman who shake the foundation of their marriage. An âobserverâ is on hand as well.
There are available roles for three men and two women â the âmatureâ couple, the âyoungâ couple and the male âobserverâ (the narrator) of an unspecified age.
Actors are asked to prepare two songs â one ballad and one uptempo â one of which must be a Sondheim composition.
