Hailed as a “revelatory revue full of wonderful moments” and a “funny, affectionate and revealing tribute to musical theater’s greatest composer and lyricist,” Sondheim on Sondheim is an intimate portrait of the famed songwriter Stephen Sondheim (1930–2021) in his own words… and music! This unique musical production features nearly three dozen songs from nineteen Sondheim projects including West Side Story, Company, Gypsy, Into the Woods, Merrily We Roll Along, Passion, Assassins, and more! Ranging from the beloved to the obscure, these songs fill a framework of exclusive in-depth video interviews, delving into Sondheim’s fascinating personal life and artistic process.
Ms. Erica Dickson and Dr. Aaron Patterson proudly direct an all-student cast and pit orchestra composed of nearly thirty vocal and instrumental music Charter Arts Students, assisted by Ms. Sarah Rainey (choreography/staging) and Mrs. Cristina Makowicz (piano).
