Simple and unpretentious, this Tony Award-winning musical is a perfect introduction to the work of contemporary master Stephen Sondheim and a must see for any true Sondheim fan. Celebrating the wit and genius of musical theatre’s most influential artist, Side By Side By Sondheim strings together a collection of some of Sondheim’s most iconic works. San Francisco based artist Jacqueline De Muro is a featured guest artist and shares the stage with a stellar cast of UWSP musical theatre students

“Side by Side by Sondheim,” celebrating one of musical theatre’s most influential artist, will be staged in the UWSP at Wausau James F. Veninga Theater, 625 Stewart Ave., Wausau, at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Oct. 18 and 19, with a matinee at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 20. Tickets are $27 for adults, $24 for seniors and UW-Stevens Point faculty and staff, and $16 for youth. Tickets will be available for purchase at tickets.uwsp.edu

The musical strings together a collection of some of Sondheim’s most notable pieces. It explores the first part of his musical career and showcases an overview of his early efforts which are filled with humor and heart.

“Stephen Sondheim has been a huge part of culture, even when he wasn’t widely recognized as the ground-breaking songwriter that many consider him to be today,” said Professor Mark Hanson, musical theatre, the show’s director. He hopes to entertain audiences with familiar songs while leaving the opportunity to discover some of his more obscure work.

San Francisco-based artist Jacqueline De Muro will be a featured guest and share the stage with a cast of UWSP musical theatre students. De Muro has been performing for audiences for more than 30 years. Hanson said her charm will have you fully immersed in the production.

“While Sondheim was a genius,” said De Muro, “the greatest gift he gives to an audience, and what we hope to bring to this show, is a fun-filled night of live entertainment.”
