BABY tells the story of three couples as they deal with the painful, rewarding and agonizingly funny consequences of the experience of expecting a baby: college students in their twenties, barely at the beginning of their adult lives; thirty ‘somethings’, having trouble conceiving but willing to try; and middle-aged parents, looking forward to seeing their last child graduate from college when a night of unexpected passion lands them right back where they started.  BABY has a  book by Sybille Pearson, music by David Shire, lyrics by Richard Maltby, Jr., based on a story developed with Susan Yankowitz.

The cast features Dana Abrams, Robert Allen, Beckett Arnold, Klair Bybee, Michael Cassano, Lareen Faye, Luise Heath, Tonilyn Hornung, Lloyd Pedersen, Steve Rizzo, Jeremy M. Sage, and Emily Thompson.
