About the Show
TheatreWorks Silicon Valley ends 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 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, Sunday in the Park with George, Sweeney Todd, Company, Merrily We Roll Along, and many more. 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.
