Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Book by James Lapine
Sondheim on Sondheim is an intimate portrait of the famed songwriter through his own words... and music. Hailed as a "revelatory revue full of wonderful moments," it is a funny, affectionate and revealing tribute to one of musical theater's greatest composers and lyricist. Ranging from the beloved to the obscure, the carefully selected songs hang from a framework of exclusive in-depth video interviews, through which the audiences takes a journey inside the personal life and artistic process of the the late great, Stephen Sondheim.
