Alvin searches through the manuscripts and stories in Thomas' mind to lead him on a journey of remembrance. In the abstract world of his mind, Thomas struggles to write Alvin's eulogy while recounting the many turns that their lives have taken since meeting as children. These lifelong friends are reunited after Alvin's mysterious death. The Story of My Life follows the friendship of Alvin and Thomas, two men from a small town. The Story of My Life inspires us to reconnect with those who were part of the earliest chapters of our own life stories. Composer-lyricist Neil Bartram and librettist Brian Hill have created an authentic and affecting work, told through a series of songs – in turn playful, touching and dramatic. Nominated for four 2009 Drama Desk Awards, including Outstanding Musical, The Story of My Life is a Broadway rarity: an intimate musical that candidly explores the simplicity of human need and the complexity of emotions under which it lies buried.
