Writing songs that reflect the complexity of his characters, Stephen Sondheim changed the way we define a great musical. Yet even though millions of fans know his songs by heart, few know much about Sondheim himself. Until now. Conceived by frequent Sondheim collaborator James Lapine, this intimate evening combines exclusive interview footage offering an inside look at Sondheim’s personal life and artistic process with sparkling-new arrangements of over two dozen Sondheim tunes ranging from the celebrated to the obscure. A unique theatrical experience. Rating: A Major. Oct. 14 - Nov. 8; International City Theatre, Long Beach Performing Arts Center, 300 East Ocean Blvd., Long Beach CA 90802; $34-$54; 562-436-4610; www.InternationalCityTheatre.org
