Bit by bit, Putting it together…
Piece by Piece, Only way to make a work of art.
Every moment makes a contribution,
Every little detail plays a part…
… and as that Stephen Sondheim lyric suggests, sometimes those small individual details add up to something greater than the sum of their parts. For example, the show Putting it Together, a revue that combines 34 songs from other Sondheim shows and transforms with a new story about two couples navigating the joys and disappointments of love, young and old.
Some of the songs are instantly familiar hits from famous shows like Into the Woods and Sweeney Todd. Some are rarely heard delights written that were cut from famous shows, or composed for lesser-known Sondheim vehicles. All of them share the usual Sondheim hallmarks of deep humanity and beauty; snapshots of the human condition.
So we put together a sneak preview of Putting it Together, with this production's wonderfully talented cast!
