Sondheim Celebration

Visalia Fox Theatre, California

About the Show

Kick-off the season by celebrating the brilliant music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. From West Side Story and Gypsy through Company, Sweeney Todd and Into the Woods, Sondheim's genius touched seven decades of broadway brilliance. We'll share some of the best of his music and lyrics during this special event.

Although he mainly wrote his own music to accompany his lyrics, he also collaborated with Leonard Bernstein, Richard Rodgers and Jule Styne on some of Broadway's biggest hits. His comic wit and genius wordplay are legendary, but he can also cut straight to your heart in gut-wrenching directness in his ballads. Come and hear an evening devoted to this last of the "Great Broadway Writers".
