This particular show is all about duos and trios: when you look on stage, your eyes see only singers KT Sullivan and Jeff Harnar, but the presence of director and Svengali-in-miniature Sondra Lee is so keenly felt throughout that she might as well be up there performing with them. The trio of Sullivan, Harnar, and Lee has already delivered an impressive and highly-original two-part take on the music of Stephen Sondheim, and thus it’s highly fitting that they should thus take on the works of Sheldon Harnick and Charles Strouse, who rank alongside Mr. Sondheim (and the perennially underappreciated Jerry Herman) as the greatest creators of musical theater who are still active and with us. Since Mr. Harnick wrote most of his best lyrics to music by the late Jerry Bock, and Mr. Strouse with Lee Adams and the late Martin Charnin, I’m not sure if that makes the creative team behind this show a septet or an octet or what, especially considering the musical direction of the formidable Jon Weber, who’s so talented (and so tall) that he’s practically a duo all by himself.
