The story follows an ambitious young man from Brooklyn's Flatbush Avenue who 
dreams of wealth and glamour across the bridge in the Manhattan of 1929

Written in 1954, Saturday Night began as a play by Julius J. and Philip G. 
Epstein, the authors of the screenplay for Casablanca. Producer, Lemuel 
Ayers, wanted to make a musical of the script, and the young Stephen Sondheim 
was engaged to write the score. Money was secured to back a production, but 
Ayers died suddenly, and the project ceased. Saturday Night became part of 
the Sondheim lore, with individual songs from the show occasionally turning 
up in various retrospectives and albums. A new life for the musical began 
with The Bridewell Theatre Company in London, where it was given its world 
premiere production in 1997, with the blessing of the composer.
