"Brownstone" is a five-person musical written by Josh Rubins (book and lyrics), Andrew Cadiff (book) and Peter Larson (music). It centers around a group of five people living in a brownstone apartment in New York City.

The characters are Claudia, a young lady getting over a breakup; Howard, a writer struggling with his current novel; his wife Mary, who desperately wants children; Joan, a big-time lawyer whose boyfriend lives in Maine; and Stuart, a bright-eyed youngster just excited to finally be in New York. [Portaniere, Michael. "The Theatermania Guide to Musical Theater Recordings." Back Stage Books, 2004, p. 57.]

The show was first workshopped in 1979 at Playwrights Horizons, before opening Off-Broadway at the Roundabout Theatre Company in 1986. The original cast included Liz Callaway (Claudia), Rex Smith (Stuart), Ben Harney (Howard), Ernestine Jackson (Mary), and Kimberly Farr (Joan).
