What is “adulting”? Find out in Closer Than Ever, an off-Broadway hit musical revue that is in its final performances at Gateway Theatre this week.
A collaboration between New York stage vets Richard Maltby, Jr. (lyricist) and David Shire (composer), Closer Than Ever is a satirical two-act musical that takes a satirical look at what it calls adulting – adult behaviour like sexcapades, one-way love affairs, life crises, multiple mis-marriages, parent-child role reversal, and growing old(er).
