Now extended through May 19! Farmers Alley Theatre presents SONDHEIM ON SONDHEIM, an intimate portrait of the iconic songwriter — his story and his inspiration in his own words, featuring Farmers Alley founders Jeremy Koch and Denene Mulay Koch.
Now extended through May 19! Farmers Alley Theatre is proud to partner with the Irving S. Gilmore International Piano Festival to bring the astonishing Sondheim on Sondheim to Southwest Michigan audiences this April and May.
Stephen Sondheim redefined the Broadway musical through his genius lyrics, catchy melodies, and complex characters. More than just a musical revue of his indelible five-decade career, Sondheim on Sondheim is an intimate portrait of the famed songwriter — his story and his inspiration in his own words. Get an inside look at Stephen’s personal life, artistic process, and legacy through exclusive video interviews and performances from nineteen Sondheim shows! Presented as part of the Irving S. Gilmore International Piano Festival, helmed by veteran Farmers Alley Theatre director Kathy Mulay, and featuring a cast full of returning favorite performers, you won't want to miss this astounding production.
Bringing Sondheim on Sondheim to life is an incredible cast including Farmers Alley Theatre Founders Jeremy Koch (last seen in A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder) and Denene Mulay Koch, who share our stage for the first time since 2017’s Bridges of Madison County. They’re joined by returning favorite Meredith Mancuso (A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder) along with new performers Aaron Pottenger, Patrick Poole, Ciara Stroud, Jason Long, and Rowan McStay.
Sondheim on Sondheim features new arrangements of 34 songs from the maestro's iconic songbook including Something’s Coming (West Side Story), Send in the Clowns (A Little Night Music), Being Alive (Company), Losing my Mind (Follies), Comedy Tonight (A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum), Loving You (Passion), Epiphany (Sweeney Todd), Beautiful (Sunday in the Park with George), Children Will Listen (Into the Woods), Good Thing Going (Merrily We Roll Along), and many more.
