Sondheim with Gail Leondar-Wright

Join Gail for another session on the late Stephen Sondheim, the single most influential force in bringing Broadway musicals into the modern era. Session #2 will be “Gypsy and Funny Girl”. To chip away at what makes Sondheim’s work great, we will contrast songs from two musicals from the final years of the Golden Age of Broadway:  Gypsy (1959) for which Sondheim contributed the lyrics, and Funny Girl (1964) for which he did not. Gail facilitates the online national “Sondheim Study Group,” and has taught her classes at several lifelong learning communities connected with universities and religious congregations.
