'Starting Here, Starting Now' by Richard Maltby, Jr. and David Shire at San Francisco Playhouse

STARTING HERE, STARTING NOWMusic by David ShireLyrics by Richard Maltby, Jr.Directed by Susi Damilano and Nicole HelferMusic Direction by Dave DobruskyChoreography by Nicole HelferPLAY DETAILSStarting Here, Starting Now is a thrilling and touching musical using the songs of Richard Maltby, Jr., and David Shire (Big, Baby, Closer Than Ever). Starting Here, Starting Now offers a tender-tough inventory of love and the lonesome lack thereof. Made for each other, the wry lyrics of Richard Maltby, Jr., combined with David Shires buoyant music, forge a fast-moving, ingratiating look at how love can go right, wrong or nowhere. This bold, extroverted journey takes a winsome cast of four through the maze of modern relationships with its heart firmly on its sleeve. As with all of Maltby and Shires work, each song is an impeccably crafted story original, engaging, and bursting with character.
