About the Screening
Six by Sondheim is an intimate and candid look at the life and art of legendary composer-lyricist Stephen Sondheim as revealed through the creation and performance of six of his songs. From "West Side Story" to "Company" to "Sunday in The Park with George", Sondheim's ground-breaking work has redefined the musical theater. Told almost entirely in Sondheim's own words and drawing on rare archival material spanning more than half a century, the film also features new re-stagings of three of his songs with stars such as Audra McDonald, Jeremy Jordan, Darren Chris and America Ferrara. Directed by James Lapine and executive produced by James Lapine and Frank Rich.
