Sunset to Sondheim
Sunset to Sondheim
A guest production at PRT
SUNSET TO SONDHEIM – Is a musical journey that explores the lifelong friendship between two performers (Bryan Chesters and Fiama Fricano) which all began on the 1st National Tour of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s hit musical "Sunset Boulevard" many years ago. They recount their experiences working on this incredible production and sing a few of the show’s signature songs including "Sunset Blvd.", "With One Look" and "As If We Never Said Goodbye."
As we learn about their lives and their friendship, they explore such topics as love and loss while singing some of Broadway’s most treasured classics from composer Stephen Sondheim including such hits as "Being Alive" (Company), "Send in the Clowns" (A Little Night Music), "Finishing The Hat" (Sunday in the Park With George), and "Losing My Mind" (Follies).
There are also plenty of fun duets like "It Take Two" (Into The Woods) & "Wherever We Go" (Gypsy) and of course, some upbeat Sondheim favorites like "Everybody Says Don’t" (Anyone Can Whistle), "What More Do I Need" (Saturday Night) and "Everything’s Coming Up Roses" (Gypsy) to name just a few!
