This project is supported by
This revelatory revue is a funny, affectionate and moving tribute to musical theatre’s greatest songwriter in his own words... and music.
Originally presented on Broadway in 2010, SONDHEIM ON SONDHEIM sees in depth video interviews with Sondheim interwoven with Grammy-nominated re-imaginings of his most acclaimed works and brand new material written by Sondheim for this unique theatrical event.
Producer Jay James-Moody says of the production, “This is a fascinating and insightful show, the perfect showcase of the best of Sondheim’s writing with a stunning cast alongside deeply moving, often times funny, and intensely personal recorded interviews with Sondheim himself. Our goal with this piece is to worship his words, because as he writes of himself in his self-deprecating song, he is God. At least to anyone in musical theatre.”
