Yet they move beyond their settings to speak to us all. Now, with this award-nominated revue of his earliest work, some of the most lush, unforgettable songs from this musical theater master are presented in one magical evening. Featuring music from Company, Follies, A Little Night Music, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Anyone Can Whistle and Pacific Overtures, along with classics written with musical theater giants Leonard Bernstein, Jule Styne and Richard Rodgers, this dazzling array of Sondheim's songs demonstrates his masterful craft and astounding creativity.
