Preview of 'They're Playing Our Song' at TriArts Sharon Playhouse

They're Playing Our Song

Book by Neil Simon, Music by Marvin Hamlisch, Lyrics by Carole Bayer Sager

July 19 – 28, 2013

America's premier funny man and the Tony Award-winning composer of A Chorus Line collaborated on this hit musical, a funny, romantic show about an established composer and his relationship with an aspiring young female lyricist, not unlike Carole Bayer Sager. Professionally, their relationship works beautifully-but ultimately leads to conflict on the home front. Of course, there's a happy ending.
