Craig Jessup makes his Feinstein’s at the Nikko debut with Sondheim Tonight!
with Ken Muir, musical director
"I love the theater as much as music, and the whole idea of getting across to an audience and making them laugh, making them cry – just making them feel – is paramount to me." – Stephen Sondheim
One of the Bay Area’s best entertainers celebrates the work of one of our greatest composers. Craig Jessup's Sondheim Tonight! brings together more than a dozen Sondheim gems from some of his earliest shows as a composer/lyricist (Saturday Night, Anyone Can Whistle) to some of his most beloved (Company, Follies, Merrily We Roll Along).
With musical director/accompanist Ken Muir, Jessup pays tribute to a true master. "Sondheim has meant so much to me personally," Jessup says. "I can remember being a poor college student in New York second-acting shows like Company and Follies and just being dazzled by his gift for lyrics married to melodies that not only create beautiful, dynamic songs but also reveal the deepest core of his characters."
