The show—with the book by John Weidman, Sondheim’s collaborator from \u003ci\u003ePacific Overtures\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAssassins\u003c\/i\u003e—has been in development for several years with productions in Chicago and Washington, DC, and grew from an idea that germinated in Sondheim’s mind some fifty years ago. The show dramatizes the real-life Mizner brothers, following their fortunes from the 1890s Alaskan gold rush to the 1920s Florida land boom: Addison as an architect and Wilson as a con man, each brother seeking his own American dream.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStephen Sondheim\u003c\/b\u003e’s career spans from his work as lyricist for \u003ci\u003eWest Side Story\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eGypsy\u003c\/i\u003e, to composer\/lyricist on such masterpieces as \u003ci\u003eCompany\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFollies\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Little Night Music\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSweeney Todd\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eSunday in the Park with George\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Weidman\u003c\/b\u003e wrote the books for Sondheim’s \u003ci\u003ePacific Overtures\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAssassins\u003c\/i\u003e, and he co-authored the books for \u003ci\u003eAmerica’s Sweetheart\u003c\/i\u003e and the revival of \u003ci\u003eAnything Goes\u003c\/i\u003e.
