Sondheim! The Birthday Concert
Join us for a rousing celebration of the life and works of one of Broadway's greatest legends — the one and only Stephen Sondheim. For the master composer and lyricist's 80th birthday, many of musical theater's brightest stars gathered in March of 2010 to perform more than two dozen sensational numbers from Sondheim's illustrious career, and several of these enduring songs are performed by the original Broadway cast members. David Hyde Pierce hosts this magical event with Stephen Sondheim's longtime collaborator Paul Gemignani conducting the New York Philharmonic. Originally broadcast as an episode of the PBS series "Great Performances" (season 38, episode 2).

The concert constructs a celebratory journey through Sondheim's catalog, relying on the powerhouse vocals of Broadway's finest. It explores the emotional depth and lyrical complexity that define his work, presenting each number as a standalone dramatic piece.
