Sondheim Dismayed with Broadway/West End Offerings; Talks THE BOOK OF MORMON, WICKED and MoreSondheim Dismayed with Broadway/West End Offerings; Talks THE BOOK OF MORMON, WICKED and More
by BWW News Desk - March 5, 2012

Stephen Sondheim, known for contributing some of the most beloved musicals of all time to the musical theater canon, is not shy about expressing his dismay with the current Broadway and West End offerings in the UK Times. Of the selections du jour he says: "There is an anodyne homogeneity that governs Broadway musicals, so I don’t see many. There’s nothing wrong with having a lot of commercial crap as long as you have something else. Unfortunately, nearly everything on Broadway is commercial crap. The same is true of the West End. When I scan what’s on, my heart sinks into my boots.” (more...)

BWW Reviews: Tony Winners Ebersole & Stokes-Mitchell Honor Snowed in SondheimBWW Reviews: Tony Winners Ebersole & Stokes-Mitchell Honor Snowed in Sondheim
by Michael L. Quintos - November 7, 2011

Sometimes even in disappointment, comes something wonderful, which was certainly the case with the magnificent impromptu showcase that occurred at the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall in Costa Mesa on Saturday, October 29. A mixed blessing if there ever was one, the evening's original agenda--a one-on-one candid conversation between ASCAP's Director of Musical Theatre Michael Kerker and legendary Broadway composer Stephen Sondheim--instead morphed into an enchanting 100-minute expanded tribute concert featuring two veteran Broadway powerhouses in their own right: Tony Award winners Christine Ebersole and Brian Stokes-Mitchell. This ad-hoc concert quickly assembled that afternoon ended up being such a magical night, filled with gorgeous, soul-stirring performances, lots of hearty laughs, and even the occasional tear-jerker.
