Producer and actor Mark-Brian Sonna has written a new review of Lyric Stage’s production of They’re Playing Our Song for Pegasus News.
Why would any theatre company want to revive such a period piece?… The answers are simple: The script is fantastic, the music is wonderful, and the characters are so vivid they still speak to us today. Curiously enough, the eponymous song of the show that is the most famous now sounds the most dated. Lyric Stage has opted to keep the 1979 era to validate the Disco beats in the score.

They’re Playing Our Song plays at the Irving Arts Center, 3333 North MacArthur Boulevard, Irving, TX on Thursday, February 21st at 8:00 PM.
