How are the Sondheim women in conversation with one another and with the Golden Age musical heroines who came before them in Broadway history? What can we learn about these women when we put them "side by side -- by side?" Katie considers these questions as she sings songs from beloved musicals such as Into the Woods, Sunday in the Park with George, Company, Merrily We Roll Along, Follies, and many others, with Emily on the keys. This piece is an adaptation of a project originally directed by Suzanne Agins. It has been previously developed at Princeton University.
