Best known for a body of work that spans acclaimed book musicals and influential revues, Maltby & Shire are singular voices in American musical theater, celebrated for their wit, emotional precision, and incisive observations of modern life. Throughout their career, they have returned to the musical revue as a uniquely intimate form—one that allows their songs to speak directly to audiences, telling a larger story without narrative distance or ornament.
The new show completes a trilogy that the authors didn’t know they were writing, that has quietly helped shape contemporary musical theater. Starting Here, Starting Now, which premiered Off-Broadway in 1977, introduced a candid, conversational songwriting style that captured the exhilaration and uncertainty of early adulthood and became a cult classic, including a nomination for a Grammy Award. More than a decade later, Closer Than Ever turned its focus to adult relationships, ambition, compromise, and reinvention, earning critical acclaim, including Best Off-Broadway Musical at the Outer Critics Circle Awards and producing songs that remain enduring standards of the musical theater canon. Now, About Time will complete the picture.
