WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Reprise Theatre Company opens it's season in September with the Tony Nominated Best Musical - They're Playing Our Song staring Jason Alexander.

Featuring a book by Neil Simon, this audience favorite follows the on-again, off-again romance of one very despondent composer and one very ditzy lyricist, as they try to create their own unique love song. Based on the real-life love affair of composer, Marvin Hamlisch, and lyricist, Carol Bayer-Sager (who also penned the delicious score), this whirling dervish of a musical comedy will have you humming its songs between each and every laugh.

Block as fellow tunesmith Sonya Walsk.

The show is a thinly veiled reenactment of songwriters Hamlisch[...]
