James Lapine conceived and directed the musical revue that features Barbara Cook, Vanessa Williams, Leslie Kritzer, Erin Mackey, Tom Wopat, Euan Morton, Matthew Scott and Norm Lewis. Dan Knechtges choreographed.
Here's how the Roundabout characterizes Sondheim on Sondheim: "By writing songs that reflect the complexity of his characters, he has changed the way we define a great musical. But even though millions of fans know his songs by heart, few know much about Stephen Sondheim himself. Until now. Roundabout presents Sondheim on Sondheim, an intimate portrait of the famed composer in his own words... and music. Through the use of exclusive interview footage, you'll get an inside look at Sondheim's personal life and artistic process. An ensemble cast of Broadway's best will perform brand-new arrangements of over two dozen Sondheim tunes, ranging from the beloved to the obscure."
