In 1953, “Saturday Night” was to mark the Broadway debut of a young, new writer, Stephen Sondheim. Owing to the death of the original producer, “Saturday Night’s” New York opening was delayed some 47 years! But now it’s here, brimming with all the charm and youthful vitality of a talent blossoming into greatness.

“Saturday Night” tells the unassuming story of a group of Brooklyn boys trying to make good in the stock market in 1929. Unfortunately, one of them, Gene, is so eager to climb the social ladder and impress his sweetheart, he invests his friends’ money in a swank apartment near the Brooklyn Bridge, even going as far as to sell the gang’s precious automobile!
