The new Stephen Sondheim-John Wediman musical Road Show, formerly called Bounce, spans 40 years from the Alaskan Gold Rush to the Florida real estate boom in the ’30s. The musical is the story of two brothers whose quest for the American Dream turns into a test of morality and judgment that changes their lives in unexpected ways.
