Such a fun opening night in LA last night. Was a joy to sing Sondheim w/ so many "old friends" in attendance, including my "Merrily" pal Jason Alexander, and "Baby" co-star Todd Graff, (pictured here w/ my son, Nicholas, who surprised them by singing "Move On" with me.) pic.twitter.com/7altSohLLp

Stephen Sondheim and George Furth's Merrily We Roll Along will transfer to Broadway in Fall 2023, led by the stars off the current off-Broadway run! The production is currently running at New York Theatre Workshop through January 22, after its sold-out runs at London's Menier Chocolate Factory and the Olivier Award-winning West End transfer produced by Sonia Friedman Productions.
Liz Callaway is performing TO STEVE WITH LOVE: Liz Callaway CELEBRATES SONDHEIM at Feinstein's at Vitello's tonight, December 16, 2022.
In 1970, Liz Callaway saw a musical that would change her life forever - Company, with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, at the Alvin Theatre. A decade later, she would make her Broadway debut in Merrily We Roll Along, written by the same composer, directed by the same director (Harold Prince), and opening at the same theater. Flash-forward to March 2022, when Liz debuted her show To Steve With Love, where she pays homage to the writer who changed the course of her life. Now, she returns to 54 Below with it, celebrating her new live album of the critically acclaimed concert. Honoring the life and songs of the most influential composer/lyricist of the modern musical, the Emmy winner and Tony Award® nominee celebrates the master with a carefully curated evening of the words and music of Stephen Joshua Sondheim. BroadwayWorld raves, "it is the most important Sondheim show right now, and it is the one that can not be missed."
Audience members will have the opportunity to purchase the new CD, two days before the official release date!
Musical direction and piano by Alex Rybeck. Directed by Dan Foster, with special guest Nicholas Callaway Foster.
