August 25-September 10; Fri-Sat at 7:30pm; Sun at 2pm
An intimate portrait of the famed songwriter in his own words... and music. Through the use of exclusive interview footage, audiences get an inside look at the personal life and artistic process of famed composer, Stephen Sondheim.
His story. His inspiration. His genius. The tapestry of creativity that characterizes Stephen Sondheim remained largely undiscussed, especially by the man himself, until the creation of Sondheim on Sondheim. Ranging from the beloved to the obscure, the carefully selected two-dozen songs hang from a framework of in-depth video interviews, delving into Sondheim's personal life and artistic process. Far from the typical song cycle, Sondheim on Sondheim has massive theatrical potency, as well as inarguable staying power. The incomparable James Lapine brilliantly curated a collection of songs that have been masterfully arranged by David Loud.
Full song list includes: Invocation/ Forget War * Love Is In The Air * Comedy Tonight * Take Me To The World * So Many People * Something's Coming * You Could Drive A Person Crazy * The Wedding Is Off * Now You Know * Franklin Shepard, Inc. * Waiting For The Girls Upstairs * Epiphany * Fosca's Entrance (I Read) * Is This What You Call Love? * Loving You * Happiness * Ever After * A Weekend In The Country * Sunday * God * Losing My Mind/Not A Day Goes By * Opening Doors * The Best Thing That Ever Has Happened * Multitude of Amys * Happily Ever After * Being Alive * Ah, But Underneath * In Buddy's Eyes * Something Just Broke * Gun Song * Do I Hear A Waltz? * Smile, Girls * Finishing The Hat * Beautiful * Loving You * Children Will Listen * Send In The Clowns * Company - Old Friends * Anyone Can Whistle
$10-$40.
