Saturday Night

Chromolume Theatre Company presents the first fully staged L.A. production of Stephen Sondheim’s Saturday Night, featuring music and lyrics by Sondheim and a book by Julius J. Epstein. Based on the play Front Porch in Flatbush by Julius J. Epstein and Philip G. Epstein.

The musical tells the unassuming story of a group of Brooklyn boys trying to make good in the stock market in 1929. Unfortunately, one of them, Gene, is so eager to climb the social ladder and impress his sweetheart, he invests his friends’ money in a swank apartment near the Brooklyn Bridge, even going as far as to sell his cousin’s precious automobile!
