Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman's Road Show celebrated its Off-Broadway opening Nov. 18 at the Public Theater.

John Doyle (Sweeney Todd, Company) directs the musical starring Michael Cerveris and Alexander Gemignani.

"Spanning 40 years from the Alaskan Gold Rush to the Florida real estate boom in the '30s, Road Show 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," according to press notes.

The cast also features Alma Cuervo, Aisha de Haas, Claybourne Elder, Colleen Fitzpatrick, Mylinda Hull, Mel Johnson Jr., Orville Mendoza, Anne L. Nathan, Tom Nelis, William Parry, Matt Stocke, William Youmans and Kristine Zbornik.

Here are some photos from the opening-night event at New York City's Union Square Ballroom:
