Closer Than Ever is a musical revue in two acts, with words by Richard Maltby Jr. and music by David Shire.
The revue contains no dialogue, and Maltby and Shire have described this show as a “bookless book musical”. The show was originally conceived by Steven Scott Smith as a one act revue entitled “Next Time Now!”, which was first given at the nightclub Eighty-Eights.
