Stephen Sondheim's Legacy | THEATER: All the Moving Parts

On November 26,  2021, Stephen Sondheim passed away and since then Everything's Coming Up…Sondheim:  Major revivals of “Company,”  “Into the Woods,” “Merrily We Roll Along,” “Sweeney Todd” and now, “Here We Are,” a posthumous world premiere at NYC’s The Shed. No better time than now for host Patrick Pacheco to chat with London critic David Benedict, Juan A. Ramírez, Chief Critic of Theatrely, Ruthie Fierberg, Executive Editor of “Broadway News,” blogger Matt Koplik of “Broadway Breakdown” and Elizabeth Wollman, Professor of Music at CUNY’s Baruch College.  Excerpts from several of Sondheim’s shows enliven commentaries which are informative, insightful, funny and moving. But then how could it be otherwise especially when Sondheim himself in video speaks of his passions, insecurities and challenges. His titanic legacy recalls the story of Georges Seurat in his masterpiece, “Sunday in the Park with George,” which ends, “White. A blank page or canvas. His favorite. So many possibilities.”
