Celebrating the great composer-lyricist of our time, Being Alive: WFMT Remembers Stephen Sondheim gathers up a wealth of Stephen Sondheim’s stage and screen creations to revisit… or discover.
His work ran the gamut from West Side Story, Gypsy, and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum to the remarkable, adventurous musicals directed by Harold Prince: Company, Follies, A Little Night Music, Pacific Overtures, Sweeney Todd, and so much more. The Chicago Tribune’s Michael Phillips is your host for Being Alive: WFMT Remembers Stephen Sondheim, and here on the website you’ll find additional music composed for Reds, Dick Tracy — and a show originally staged in the Yale University swimming pool!
