Written on Feb 07 2011The story is compelling and the songs are actually dialogue that move the play along. A unique story about friendship that all can relate to. The three of us were pulling out our kleenex remembering friends in our past. Singing was excellent. There's lots of humor too. Highly recommend! Not a bad seat in this theatre.

Written on Feb 07 2011I thoroughly enjoyed this very relevant, moving, and expressive story about two best friends. The book, lyrics, and score were fresh, new, and engrossing. The performances were stellar. The actors knew who these people they were portraying and became those people. I am so glad I was able to take in this very memorable theatrical event.

Written on Feb 01 2011A snoozer. Even though the actors had good voices, the musical score was monotonous.

Description
Book by Brian Hill
Music and Lyrics by Neil Bartram
The Story of My Life tells the story of two childhood friends and how their friendship profoundly defined their lives. Thomas Weaver is a best-selling, award-winning author. Alvin Kelby was his best friend for 30 years. But time can test the bonds of any friendship, and when it does, Thomas calls on the only resource he has – his stories of Alvin – to learn where things went wrong. A richly melodic musical, The Story of My Life is a soaring tribute to the power of friendship and the people who change our lives forever. The play received 4 Drama Desk Award nominations for outstanding music, lyrics, book, and musical.
