Edges, At The Tabard Theatre

A musical about life

The first musical of award winning duo Benj Pasek and Justin Paul,EDGES, follows four twenty-somethings as they teeter on the edges of
their lives.

Written while they were still students at the University of Michigan, this contemporary song cycle confronts the trials and tribulations of moving into adulthood, figuring out how and who to be.

The collection of songs interweaves the lives of two men and two women, and speak as much of such universal issues as love, loss, commitment, identity, ambition, growth, and connection, as the
obsessions of youth.

Each song stands as a story in itself: a son rages
against his father, a woman lies next to a lover she doesn’t quite love,
and all the characters find themselves in front of a computer on a
Friday night, desperate not to be alone. Each character and each song
is vivid, imaginative and utterly relatable as they explore the full,
messy range of this fraught decade.
We’ve all been there… or we’ll all be there
