Perhaps more than any other composer, Stephen Sondheim captures the essence of that most interesting of species: Woman. As Broadway’s greatest living composer/lyricist, he has created some of the theatre’s most celebrated female characters, who, in turn, have been played by many of our greatest actresses. There’s Always a Woman—according to Stephen Sondheim is a fascinating look at Broadway’s chronicler of womanhood and all its ambiguities. In this savvy, spellbinding performance, singer/actress Carolyn Black-Sotir, described as “the ultimate Sondheim interpreter,” along with pianist Timothy McReynolds, explores the many facets of the Sondheim woman from Mayoress Cora in Anyone Can Whistle, to Johanna in Sweeney Todd, to Passion’s Fosca. Carolyn also shares her insight into the lyricist/composer’s creative process based on her interviews with Stephen Sondheim.

A musical and dramatic tour-de-force!
