After All These Years

September 27, 2026

"After All These Years" is a new sophisticated musical revue paying tribute to the songs of Al Tapper who has been in the business for five decades with the composer/lyricist narrating the show on video. Unlike Sondheim on Sondheim in which that composer explained the mechanics of creating each number in his screen appearances, Tapper’s narration is about his life story and the genesis of each song.

Director Brian Childers who has specialized in musical revues keeps the show moving swiftly along. [more]
