About This Show
Westport Country Playhouse presents the world premiere musical by the celebrated Broadway team of Kander and Ebb, All About Us, based on Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize-winning classic American play, The Skin of Our Teeth. The book is by Joseph Stein, who penned the script for Fiddler on the Roof. Grammy, Emmy and three-time Tony Award nominee Eartha Kitt, and Tony Award winners Shuler Hensley and Cady Huffman star. Gabriel Barre directs.
With a dazzling profusion of themes, including the meaning of family, the value of imagination and knowledge and the appreciation of the little things worth cherishing, All About Us is the ultimate optimistic view on the miracles of life. This wild, humorous, poignant and emotional musical journey is the quintessential story of humanity and survival. All About Us is the last musical ever written by long-time collaborators Kander and Ebb prior to Ebb’s death in 2004.
