“Six by Sondheim” (2013)
Thursday, March 12, 1 p.m.
Directed by Tony Award-winner and frequent Sondheim collaborator James Lapine, “Six by Sondheim” is part biography, part music-appreciation lesson and part performance piece. Told primarily in Sondheim’s own words, this feature-length documentary weaves together dozens of interviews with the composer, rarely seen archival material spanning more than half a century (including newly discovered footage of Ethel Merman performing “Gypsy”) and re-stagings of three songs produced especially for the film.
Running time: 1 hour, 26 minutes
Not rated. Not recommended for audiences under 13 years old.
