"With a cast of three women and two men, this musical revue explores the broad spectrum of romantic relationships by way of more than thirty Rogers and Hammerstein songs, classics and lesser-known discoveries alike. Each of the team's musicals is represented..., and the songs have all been placed in fresh theatrical settings, strung together so that the revue "grows up" emotionally" (from the directors note by Walter Bobbie).Nutley Little Theatre stages its productions at the NLT Barn, 47 Erie Place, Nutley, located off Brookfield Avenue (one block east of Franklin Avenue) in the heart of the Erie Place Historic District.
