SYNOPSIS: Hugely successful Franklin Shepard looks at the emptiness and shallowness of his life through years of calculated ambition. Moving backwards in time, he revisits how he got to where he’s at, his estranged closest friends Charlie and Mary, his first ex-wife and his future ex-wife and how he abandoned himself as an artist. Sondheim’s semi-autobiographical musical that is a true American masterwork.
