Good Thing Going: Celebrating Sondheim at 75 March 17, 2005

To honor Stephen Sondheim on the occasion of his seventy-fifth birthday (March 22, 2005), the Museum presents a comprehensive series of Sondheim?s work in another medium?television. The retrospective, originally shown at the Museum to honor the composer?s seventieth birthday, features some newly acquired segments with Yvonne DeCarlo, Eileen Farrell, Marilyn Horne, Carol Burnett, Barbara Cook, and others, and illuminates his surprisingly long and remarkably rich relationship with the medium. Over the years, Sondheim has returned to television often and in various guises?as a writer, composer, interview or documentary subject, and even once as an actor.
