“Web Video” Comes to Broadway in “Sondeim on Sondheim” as Thrilling Multimedia Show

The show is a mix of documentary video footage of the great composer shown on moving video monitors interspersed with performances of a live cast.

We spoke with video artist Peter Flaherty who created the documentary footage and conceptualized the integration of the video along with the stage director and longtime Sondheim collaborator James Lapine.
