Tracy Lynn Olivera

A musical revue of over 30 songs written by Stephen Sondheim. The quintessential “Finishing the Hat,” “Another Hundred People,” “Losing My Mind” and “The Worst Pies in London” meet lesser known gems including “Country House,” “Saturday Night” and “Goodbye for Now”. New orchestrations by longtime Sondheim collaborator Jonathan Tunick are performed by a 16-piece orchestra, which accompanies 12 singers including Norm Lewis, Solea Pfeiffer, Conrad Ricamora, Emily Skinner, Bobby Smith, Awa Sal Secka, Tracy Lynn Olivera, and more.

The story of three friends moving back in time, starting when their relationship finally falls completely apart and moving back to where they started, making stops along the way looking for the moment things changed. Part of the 2002 Sondheim Festival at the Kennedy Center and recorded by WAPAVA.

If life is a rehearsal for your memory, what moment would you replay? It is 1965 in New York City and cabaret crooner Trevor is in love—with Arthur, his songwriter. With their romance outlawed, the two create an act in the back room of an illegal Greenwich Village gay bar. However, pressures from a world on the cusp of change expose an ache for what they could never have in a wistful and whimsical serenade with tunes reminiscent of the Great American Songbook.
