MNM's SIDE BY SIDE BY SONDHEIM Moves to Kravis Center's Rinker Playhouse This Weekend
Not only has the this musical tribute to legendary Broadway composer-lyricist Stephen Sondheim received a highly coveted "Recommended" status for the Carbonell Awards, South Florida's most prestigious award for professional theater, the show has been widely praised by several professional reviewers:
+ The Palm Beach Post's Hap Erstein described the production as "smart, satisfying," calling it a "well-sung, effectively acted, sophisticated evening of musical treasures."
+ In Florida Weekly and on FloridaTheaterOnStage.com, Bill Hirschman gushed, "This may be the best production of SIDE BY SIDE BY SONDHEIM seen in South Florida or many other places."
+ In the Jewish Journal, Randall Lieberman called the revue "an enjoyable musical tribute" that "is a perfect introduction to the work of this contemporary master and a must for die-hard Sondheim fans."
+ And local reviewer-blogger Skip Sheffield hailed the show as "a glowing tribute to the cerebral composer. It is all the more glowing because of its performers" Shelley Keelor, Wayne LeGette, Alix Paige and Leah Sessa.
SIDE BY SIDE BY SONDHEIM is being produced by MNM's co-founders Marcie Gorman and Michael Lifshitz, directed by Bruce Linser with Paul Reekie as musical director.
