Saturday Night (musical)
''Saturday Night'' is a musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, and the book by brothers Julius J. Epstein and Philip G. Epstein, based on their play, ''Front Porch in Flatbush''. The musical was expected to open on Broadway in 1954-1955, but because of the lead producer's death, it was not produced. Following a student production, it was staged at the Bridewell Theatre, London in 1997 and then in Chicago in 1999 and Off-Broadway in 2000. The musical also ran in the West End in 2009.
==Background==
''Saturday Night'' was scheduled to open in the 1954-55 Broadway season. Announcements of the production appeared in the ''New York Times'', and auditions were held in mid-`55, following some revisions to the music brought about by backers' auditions. In the summer of `55, it appeared that ''Saturday Night'' would be Sondheim's musical debut on Broadway that fall. However, in August 1955, lead producer Lemuel Ayers died, leaving the production with little morale and even less cash. The production was scrapped, and the musical material shelved. Although a handful of songs from the musical have appeared in revues and on Sondheim compilation albums, the score as a whole went unperformed until 1997.〔(''Saturday Night'' production notes, plot, and other information ) mtishows.com, accessed March 16, 2009〕〔("'Saturday Night' production listing" ) sondheimguide.com, retrieved April 28, 2010〕
