It's just been announced that today's matinee performance of Sondheim on Sondheim at Studio 54 has been canceled.

Both Vanessa Williams and Erin Mackey are ill and not able to perform. Ms. Williams and Ms. Mackey share an understudy and therefore additional time is needed to rehearse a second understudy.

The company will rehearse today to be able to resume performances this evening at 8PM as scheduled.

Tickets should be exchanged or refunded at the point of purchase.

Sondheim on Sondheim stars Barbara Cook, Vanessa Williams, Tom Wopat, Leslie Kritzer, Norm Lewis, Euan Morton, Erin Mackey & Matthew Scott, with music & lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and the production is conceived & directed by James Lapine.

Sondheim on Sondheim opened officially on April 22nd, 2010 at Studio 54 on Broadway (254 West 54th Street). This limited engagement has been extended through Sunday, June 27th, 2010.

He brought us Into The Woods, Company, Sweeney Todd, A Little Night Music, Sunday in the Park with George, A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum, West Side Story and Gypsy (to name a few). 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. Directed by frequent Sondheim collaborator James Lapine, this unique experience will take you inside the life and mind of an ordinary New Yorker... with an extraordinary talent.

Sondheim on Sondheim has been nominated for a Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Musical Revue, the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding New Broadway Musical and the Drama League Award for Distinguished Production of a Musical.

Sondheim on Sondheim creative team includes David Loud (Music Direction & Arrangements) and Dan Knechtges (Musical Staging). The design team includes Beowulf Boritt (Sets), Susan Hilferty (Costumes), Ken Billington (Lights), Dan Moses Schreier (Sound) and Peter Flaherty (Projection & Video).

Major support provided by The Shen Family Foundation, Perry and Marty Granoff, Tom and Diane Tuft, and First Service Williams.
