NEW YORK—Now in their seventh decade of collaboration, lyricist Richard Maltby Jr. and composer David Shire have unveiled their latest effort, the off-Broadway revue “About Time,” The final part of a trilogy which began in 1976 with “Starting Here, Starting Now” and continued with “Closer Than Ever” in 1989.
Directed by Maltby and featuring a very capable cast of six (Allyson Kaye Daniel, Darius de Haas, Daniel Jenkins, Eddie Korbich, Sally Wilfert, Lynne Wintersteller), “About Time” offers an entertaining and thought-provoking collection of songs and skits on people who have reached the third act of life. The company is aided in their efforts by Musical Director Deniz Cordell and Assistant Musical Director Annie Pasqua on a pair of Steinway pianos, with Scott Chaurette providing additional assistance on bass.
