Hirschfelds Sondheim Softcover

HIRSCHFELDS SONDHEIM POSTER BOOK SC

This handsome volume presents 25 favorite Al Hirschfeld portraits drawn from Stephen Sondheim's musicals. Hirschfeld's images capture the essence of the performances even better than the photographs of the shows. All of Sondheim's best-known plays are included-West Side Story, Follies, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Sweeney Todd, Merrily We Roll Along, and Sunday in the Park with George. The art prints in this oversize poster book can be easily removed and framed, making it an ideal gift for Sondheim fans. On the reverse side are rare, ancillary images from the archives, as well as an introduction by Bernadette Peters, an essay by Ben Brantley, and text by David Leopold, Hirschfeld's archivist and creative director of the Al Hirschfeld Foundation.
