SONDHEIM ON SONDHEIM

If you’re a Stephen Sondheim fan here in L.A., you’ve likely enjoyed Side By Side By Sondheim and/or Putting It Together, perhaps multiple times.

CARRIE The Killer Musical Experience


You don’t have to travel to NYC to see CARRIE The Killer Musical Experience on Broadway, not now that director Brady Schwind’s multiple Scenie-winning*, thrillingly audience-immersive Carrie has reopened at the historic Los Angeles Theater at 615 S. Broadway … smack dab in the middle of DTLA.
