Nestled into an intimate 60-seat space replete with oil lamps in the theatre and fresh baked cookies in the lobby, the cheerful and capable quartet of performers carry the sold out audience through two acts of heartfelt ballads and tongue-in-cheek comedic up-tempos, deftly beelining through two patter songs for which Sondheim won the Best Lyricist of A Musical (“Company” 1971) the one and only year it was separated from Best Score (which he won as well). Christina Ramirez’s direction and choreography fit nicely on this cozy stage, shared with music director and pianist, Amy J. Branahl.
