Street Theatre Company presents Closer Than Ever, a musical revue that won the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway Musical. The revue displays in song the trials and tribulations we all experience as we travel through life with its ups and downs. Its timeless representation of feelings of love, happiness and even sadness make it a hit in places such as New York, Chicago and Washington D.C.

Laurie Winer of The New York Times states that it uses “wit and musical [energy] to illuminate extraordinary terrors and joys in ordinary lives.”

With Closer Than Ever, the audience becomes a voyeur, glimpsing through ‘doors’ into people’s lives. And opening on Valentine’s Day, there’s no better time to celebrate relationships, break-ups, family and everyday life. It’s a snapshot into the human experience that everyone can relate to. Closer Than Ever is directed by Cathy Street with musical direction by Rollie Mains and stars Scott Frazier-Maskiell, Mallory Gleason, LaDarra Jackal, and Wesley King.

Street Theatre Company is supported by the Metro Nashville Arts Commission and Tennessee Arts Commission. Closer Than Ever runs February 14, 15 and 16 with shows at 8 pm on Friday, 2 pm and 8 pm on Saturday, and 5 pm on Sunday. Tickets prices range from $18-24.
