Saturday Night

Work:: Saturday Night (S1682)

One of Sondheim's earliest works set in 1929. Gene, a lowly Wall Street broker, has dreams of the exciting society life to be found in Manhattan. He and his less ambitious, middle-class, bachelor friends have no Saturday night dates on the horizon so Gene gatecrashes a party meeting Helen. Gene's decision to risk all their money in an attempt to get rich quick will resonate just as strongly with today's audiences as when it was written in 1955.
