freeFall Theatre's SONDHEIM ON SONDHEIM Starts Tonight
freeFall Theatre continues a strong tradition of musical theatre hits with an intimate portrait of Broadway icon Stephen Sondheim in his own words and music. Chris Crawford directs and stages the Tampa Bay area premiere of James Lapine's award-winning Broadway hit, SONDHEIM ON SONDHEIM. Opening night is tonight, March 12 at 8pm.
Writing songs that reflect the complexity of his characters, 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. This musical revue changes all of that.
Originally conceived as a tribute for Sondheim's 80th birthday party, SONDHEIM ON SONDHEIM is a love letter from Lapine to his friend and frequent collaborator. Exclusive video footage, in which Sondheim offers an inside look at his personal life and artistic process, is combined with sparkling-new arrangements of over two dozen Sondheim tunes, performed by Ann Morrison (original cast of Sondheim's Merrily We Roll Along), Kissy Simmons (Broadway's The Lion King), Larry Alexander (Broadway's Les Miserables), Nick Fitzer, Amy Marie Stewart, Kelly Pekar, Nick Lerew and freeFall Artistic Director Eric Davis under Michael Raabe's musical direction. This revue will also feature freeFall's largest band.
This once-in-a-lifetime theatrical experience celebrates perhaps the single most important contributor to the art of the American Musical.
