www.HudsonTheatreEnsemble.com Contact: HUDSON THEATRE ENSEMBLE PRESENTS CLOSER THAN EVER, May 11, 2005. Hoboken. The Hudson Theatre Ensemble is delighted to present “Closer Than Ever,” a funny, wise, and witty romantic musical revue for today, by composer David Shire (Big - The Musical) and lyricist Richard Maltby Jr. (Miss Saigon), collaborators who have worked together for decades (the team that brought us the Broadway musical "Baby”). Each song in “Closer Than Ever” is an intimate, insightful tale about love, security, happiness – and holding onto them in a world that pulls you in a hundred directions at once. Maltby and Shire bring their celebrated craft and contemporary sensibility to songs about aging, mid-life crisis, altering relationships, doors opening and closing as life moves on, second marriages, and role reversals with parents, as well as wicked satirical jabs at working couples and unrequited love. Characters that are clever, sardonic, brash, cynical, funny and wise…characters of style, flavor and richness - are played by a talented array of Hudson County and New York actors many of whom have been seen before on the Hudson Theatre Ensemble stage: Kim Blackmore, Rod Dubitsky, Bill Knepper, Diana London, Susan Mirwis, Carlos Monteagudo, Florence Pape, Elizabeth Soychak, Kristen Spannagel, Thomas Tyburski. Director/Musical Director: Adi Zisman; Choreographer: Jared Ramos. The Hudson Theatre Ensemble, a professional community theatre, is now in its sixth season and resides in a beautiful new theater in Hoboken, NJ. We produce plays, musicals, and children’s shows. Past seasons include the musical “Company” (musical director: Adi Zisman), Personals” (director/musical director: Adi Zisman) “Steel Magnolias,” “12 Angry Men,” “Picasso at the Lapin Agile,” “The Real Inspector Hound,” and many others, as well as our popular Silly on Sixth – Children’s Series: “Sleeping Beauty,” “HapPEAly Ever After” (director/musical director: Adi Zisman), and “Silly 3s.” These spirited productions have earned us much acclaim for their professionalism as well as their heart and soul: “Adi and the Hudson Theatre Ensemble prove you don’t have to go all the way to Broadway or pay astronomical prices to see a great musical. The footlights shine bright right here on this side of the Hudson.” “Closer Than Ever” will be performed at The Hudson School Performance Space at 601 Park Avenue in Hoboken, NJ on Friday June 10 and 17 at 8PM, Saturday June 11 and 18 at 8PM, and Sunday June 12 and 19 at 7PM. Tickets are $16 general admission; $12 seniors/students. For more information or reservations, please contact Florence Pape at 201-377-7014 or reservations@HudsonTheatreEnsemble.com
