Six by Sondheim

Description

Directed by award-winning Broadway director and playwright James Lapine, Six by Sondheim is an intimate and candid look at the life and art of the legendary composer-lyricist Stephen Sondheim, who redefined musical theater through such groundbreaking works as Company and Sweeney Todd. Told primarily in Sondheim's own words, the film is a profile of the great American artist as revealed through the creation and performance of six of his songs and features archival performance footage and original staged productions - created exclusively for this film - with stars including Audra McDonald, Darren Criss, America Ferrera, and more. Art and life are intertwined for Sondheim, and Six by Sondheim is a story of both.
