TAKE ME TO THE WORLD: A SONDHEIM 90TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION
YouTube, 8:00 p.m. ET
SPECIAL PREMIERE: Stephen Sondheim turned 90 on March 22, but today’s a proper reason to celebrate. That’s true not only because his officially scheduled celebration was kneecapped by social distancing, but also because today – April 26 – marks the golden anniversary of the premiere of his stunning musical Company on Broadway. And to celebrate, however they can, using whatever technology and ingenuity they can, Sondheim’s many artistic collaborators keep adding to the guest list for tonight’s special. It’s available to watch on the www.Broadway.com website, and also at its YouTube channel. And check out the list of performers and celebrants: Bernadette Peters, Mandy Patinkin, Audra McDonald, Meryl Street, Steven Spielberg, Laura Benanti, Melissa Errico, Neil Patrick Harris, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Ben Platt, Randy Rainbow, Victor Garber, Nathan Lane, Joanna Gleason, Patti LuPone, Jake Gyllenhaal, Donna Murphy, Kelli O’Hara, Michael Cerveris, Sutton Foster, Kristin Chenoweth – and Katrina Lenk, the star of the Company revival whose opening was postponed by New York’s stay-at-home guidelines. Raul Esparza hosts. (The special, not the quarantine.)
