Simple and unpretentious, this Tony Award-winning musical is a perfect introduction to the work of contemporary master Stephen Sondheim and a must see for any true Sondheim fan. Celebrating the wit and genius of musical theatre’s most influential artist, Side By Side By Sondheim strings together a collection of some of Sondheim’s most iconic works.
“Stephen Sondheim has been a huge part of culture, even when he wasn’t widely recognized as the ground-breaking songwriter that many consider him to be today,” said Professor Mark Hanson, musical theatre, the show’s director. He hopes to entertain audiences with familiar songs while leaving the opportunity to discover some of his more obscure work. San Francisco based artist Jacqueline De Muro is a featured guest artist and shares the stage with a stellar cast of UWSP musical theatre students.
