What happens when two people – a former couple – haven’t seen each other in twenty years? He finds her on Facebook, contacts her, and suggests they meet up on Zoom. They do, and what follows is funny, touching, and tuneful, as they navigate their way through the thickets of their past relationship, which he remembers one way and she remembers quite differently. An original musical written and directed by Bruce Kimmel, starring Eric Petersen and Hartley Powers, and written specifically for online streaming, the show was unique in that it played right into having to do theater online.
“Ingenious, with lyrics astutely outlining conflicts … clever … excellent … cunning!” Elaine Mura, Splash Magazine
“Written and directed deliciously … two glorious actors … great chemistry … I felt like I was watching a delightfully engaging movie. BRAVO! Don Grigware, Grigware Reviews
Irresistibly tuneful songs … an absolute charmer!” Steven Stanley, Stage Scene LA
In addition to the complete soundtrack to Tonight’s the Night, the CD also includes Bruce Kimmel’s incidental music for the online streaming thriller, Revenge, and his scores for Doug Haverty’s plays In My Mind’s Eye and Top of the Tree, and more.
