Maltby and Shire received support to expand the show when producers Janet Brenner, Michael Gill, and Daryl Roth came on board. They wanted to turn the production into a two act evening, which required new songs and additional material from the "Urban File." The show also added one more actress, Sally Mayes, to the cast. New songs written for the expansion include the opening number, "Doors," "You Want To Be My Friend?," "Fandango," "If I Sing," "The March of Time," "Back On Base," and the finale, "Closer Than Ever." "Another Wedding Song," written by Shire and his wife Didi Conn for their wedding, was also added into the show at this time. The full-scale version of the show went through a trial run at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in Massachusetts during the summer of 1989. Marcia Milgrom Dodge was hired to choreograph the expanded show and Maltby became Smith's co-director. Well received by audiences, the show headed for New York City.
