Maltby and Shire Musical Revue Staged in San Juan Capistrano
Karen McBride directs the Richard Maltby Jr. and David Shire musical revue STARTING HERE, STARTING NOW, performed on stage at The Orange Curtain Theatre April 21 - May 6, 2006
San Juan Capistrano, CA April 9, 2006 — THE ORANGE CURTAIN THEATRE presents “STARTING HERE, STARTING NOW”; a musical revue that brought New York critics to their feet! The excitement of young love and the confusion of growing up are explored in this intimate revue from one of the most respected teams in the contemporary musical theatre, Richard Maltby, Jr. and David Shire (“Baby,” “Big”). Using songs from their various early musicals, this bold, extroverted journey takes a winsome cast of six through the maze of modern relationships with its heart firmly on its sleeve. As with all of Maltby and Shire’s work, each song is an impeccably crafted story, original, engaging, bursting with character, and showcasing the versatility and charisma of its performer. From tender ballads to hysterical husband-hunting laments, from wry comments on trendy marriages to ecstatic shouting-from-the-rooftop celebration, “STARTING HERE, STARTING NOW” has an appealing freshness that has made it a perennial favorite throughout the world. It’s a joyous musical experience, a real love affair between audience, music and performer!
