GYPSY, one of Broadway's biggest smashes, has a book by Arthur Laurents, music by Jule Styne, and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. Loosely based on the memoirs of world-renowned striptease artist Gypsy Rose Lee, Gypsy follows the journey of the irrepressible Rose (Imelda Staunton), the mother to end all stage mothers, as she balances the challenges of parenthood with the joys and heartbreaks of a life in the world of show business.

Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler's macabre musical masterpiece, SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET receives one bloody delicious production in a 2001 concert presentation of Broadway's black-humored thriller of revenge, razors, murder, and meat pies. Returning to Victorian London after a long exile, the unhinged barber Sweeney Todd seeks violent vengeance on the unscrupulous judge who separated him from his family, freedom... and sanity. Teaming with the Sweeney-smitten, pie-making Mrs. Lovett, Todd reopens his tonsorial parlor to lure the judge in... and then practice his murderous desires on the throats of Fleet Street's citizenry! Broadway legend Patti LuPone, Tony Award winner George Hearn, and Neil Patrick Harris headline this special concert presentation.

Leonard Bernstein's fantastically funny operetta CANDIDE springs to life in this New York Philharmonic concert production. Based on Voltaire's classic tale of an innocent young man's comic odyssey, CANDIDE is a colorful and catchy delight, featuring Tony Award-winners Patti LuPone and Kristin Chenoweth along with a top-notch cast including Paul Groves, Janine LaManna, Sir Thomas Allen and the Westminster Symphonic Choir.

Arthur Miller's classic, DEATH OF A SALESMAN, tells the story of Willy Loman, an aging, traveling salesman, who despairs that his life has been lived in vain. Facing dispensability and insignificance in a heated, youthful post-war economy, Willy is not ready to part with his cherished fantasies of an America that admires him for personable triumphs in the marketplace. But the reality is far more difficult than that, and the measure of Willy's self-delusion and contradictions is found in his two sons.
