MARGATE, FL:  The matchless music of composer/lyricist Stephen Sondheim is featured in Putting It Together, an inventive, energetic musical revue showcasing the work of America’s modern master composer.   Putting It Together will open at Stage Door Theatre on May 13^th and run through June 19^th.

Putting It Together, which drew its title from a song in Sondheim’s Sunday in the Park with George, was created by Sondheim and Julia Mackenzie (and produced by Cameron Mackintosh) in response to numerous requests for a new production similar to the 1976 Tony Award-winning revue, Side By Side By Sondheim.

The show focuses on two couples – one middle aged and married, the other young lovers – thrown together at a cocktail party in a Manhattan penthouse. Together they – along with a narrator who provides insight and commentary throughout the proceedings – reflect upon the complexities that make up modern relationships.  The show uses close to 30 of Sondheim’s songs – some beloved classics, some rarely heard pieces – to tell their stories.  Full of sharp wit, not to mention marital mayhem, Putting It Together is filled with Stephen Sondheim’s unique take on love, relationships, and life.

Peter J. Loewy will direct the production, which will feature Carbonell Award-winner Ann Marie Olson, along with Alexandria Lugo, Anthony Masarotto, Darrick Penny, and Jason Plourde.

“I’m thrilled to be back at the Broward Stage Door Theatre directing a terrifically talented cast in Putting It Together,” says Peter J. Loewy, who will direct the production. “This compilation of songs from one of the most prolific composers in the history of Broadway, Stephen Sondheim, sings of love, relationships, marriage, and infidelity in a humorous tongue in cheek fashion. It’s filled with beautiful melodic ballads, Broadway classics, and a few songs that might not be quite all that familiar to some of our audiences, but will resonate just the same.

“Our cast is backed by a live band led by musical director David Nagy,” he continues.  “Our audiences are in for a charming, wonderfully elegant evening at Putting It Together. I’ll drink to that!”

Loewy’s cast will feature Carbonell Award-winner Ann Marie Olson, along with Alexandria Lugo, Anthony Masarotto, Darrick Penny, and Jason Plourde.

Ann Marie Olson

“Sondheim is a thrilling challenge,” Olson says, “and every actor I know would lunge at the opportunity to sing anything he wrote. This cast is amazing – everyone has such a passion for the material.”

Darrick Penny

“I am playing Man 2 in the show,” explains fellow cast member Darrick Penny. “And it’s such an honor to be able to sing some Sondheim again! My role is the optimist/romantic type; it’s been a while since I’ve been able to play with this kind of character, and I’m really enjoying it. The music is beautiful and it brings back many of the Sondheim favorites with some fresh takes on them as well.”

Putting It Together will run from May 13 – June 19 at Stage Door Theatre in Margate. The theatre is located at 8036 Sample Road, in Margate.
