ABOUT THE SHOWS:

Libby's at the Express: The 70s Part 3 June 23-26, 2016

Following up on last season's two-part salute to one of the most musically varied decades in recent history, Libby Whittemore closes out her Libby's at the Express lineup with a third trip to the hits of the 1970s.

Company Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim; Book by George Furth Directed by Freddie Ashley July 30 - September 4, 2016

Sondheim is back at AE! Winner of Seven Tony Awards including Best Musical!

Robert is turning 35 and still single, living in New York City. Surrounded by friends, all of whom have coupled off, he confronts his perpetual bachelorhood in a series of hilarious interactions -- just in time to blow out his birthday candles. This game-changing musical gets a modern makeover in AE's Season 29 opener with unforgettable renditions of some of Sondheim's best-known songs, including "The Ladies Who Lunch" and "Being Alive."
