Summary

A legend in the arts, Stephen Sondheim changed musical theatre forever. Sondheim on Sondheim is an intimate portrait of the beloved composer through his own words and music. Featuring both familiar favorites—including West Side Story, Follies and Sweeney Todd—as well as hidden gems, audiences will immerse themselves in Sondheim’s unparalleled work in this funny, affectionate and revealing tribute that includes filmed commentary from the man himself. This production is part of the Pasadena Playhouse’s six-month Sondheim Celebration, a festival celebrating the maestro and bringing to life some of his most monumental musicals for a new generation.
