Summary:
The smash New York revue is captured here with performances from some of Broadway's most impressive vocalists (who, collectively, boast over 100 Broadway credits to their names, some of whom originated roles in Sondheim musicals). Sondheim Unplugged, The NYC Sessions features many of the best-loved tunes from the master composer's oeuvre (Send in the Clowns, Broadway Baby), as well as lesser-heard, sparkling treasures from shows like The Frogs and Road Show.
