TheatreWorks Silicon Valley presents “Being Alive: A Sondheim Celebration” at Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts

TheatreWorks Silicon Valley will close its 53rd season with the World Premiere of a new musical tribute honoring Stephen Sondheim, “Being Alive: A Sondheim Celebration.” Founding Artistic Director Robert Kelley returns to TheatreWorks, collaborating with TheatreWorks Resident Musical Director William Liberatore to conceive this unique musical celebration of the legacy of one of Broadway’s greatest composers. Throughout his storied career, Sondheim chronicled the depth of human relationships, exploring love and loss as well as breakdowns and breakthroughs in a wealth of unforgettable musicals, including “Into the Woods,” “A Little Night Music,” “Sunday in the Park with George,” “Sweeney Todd,” “Company,” “Pacific Overtures,” “Passion,” “Merrily We Roll Along,” and many more. With brilliant wit, exquisite melodies, and astonishing lyrics, he became TheatreWorks’ most-produced composer in its 54 seasons of presenting plays and musicals. In this revelatory World Premiere revue, Sondheim’s profound understanding of the human heart takes center stage. “Being Alive: A Sondheim Celebration” spotlights an interconnected group of performers, exploring the tumultuous and ever-changing nature of love in their personal lives.
