Baby
Book by Sybille Pearson
Lyrics by Richard Maltby, Jr.
Music by David Shire
Based upon a story developed with Susan Yankowitz
Baby tells the story of three couples on a university campus as they deal with the painful, rewarding, and agonizingly funny consequences of this universal experience. There are the college students, barely at the beginning of their adult lives; the thirty-somethings, having trouble conceiving but determined to try; and the middle aged parents, looking forward to seeing their last child graduate from college when a night of unexpected passion lands them back where they started.
