New Broadway show will look at Sondheim

NEW YORK (AP) — Get ready for more Stephen Sondheim on Broadway this season — with a little help from singer Barbara Cook.

“Sondheim on Sondheim” will take a look at the man through his music and through film and videotape interviews with the composer.

In addition to Cook, the cast for the Roundabout Theatre Company production will include Vanessa Williams, Michael Arden and Leslie Kritzer. Other performers have yet to be announced.

“Sondheim on Sondheim,” directed by James Lapine, opens April 22 at Studio 54. Previews begin March 19.

It will be the second Sondheim musical on Broadway this season. A revival of “A Little Night Music” opens in December.
