though the cast and production seem to take a minute to find its stride (maybe it was just me settling in)....this musical review becomes a whole new story in itself......and a good one with great performances, juxtaposition of songs, and staging. the highs are high and the lows are incredibly shattering and yet we never lose sight of the incredible genius which is STEPHEN SONDHEIM. this is not just another run-through of songs...this is a well thought-out and heartfelt tribute to a rare and brilliant man and the many aspects of love and relationship which he and us are all-too-familiar with and yet so often choose to forget. satisfaction guaranteed!!!
I knew of several of the cast members and have always enjoyed shows they are in. Sondheim's music from a variety of shows and movies are put together here to create their own story. The cast is fantastic! Balancing comedy and tear jerking drama, they bring audience into their stories. A truely talent group of actors. The extras simply add to the joy. The onstage bloober involving Carol Burnett makes the DVD worth owning by itself! And the interview with her is a must for any Carol fan. I highly recommend this DVD for anyone. If you never got to see the show live, this gives you a very good sense of being there. If you did see it live, you can relive the joy of the performances again.
Saw it on Broadway never could understand why no cd. But here I got the show
