The main problem with the whole show was the very loud, overpowering pianist - I mentioned to the sound booth tech at intermission that the piano was way too loud & was covering up the voices. The tech's comment to me was, "We tell him that every night." She proceeded to tell me that she would tell him, since I informed her I was a music teacher & the piano is accompanying the singers, & was not the featured soloist in the show. Unfortunately, the pianist came back even stronger & louder after intermission. The pianist was excellent but needs to understand accompanying is a whole different technique of playing.Written on Apr 12 2010
The singers did a good job for what they had to work with. I feel they could have dressed more appropriately for a stage appearance - they were dressed as if they were at a rehearsal instead of a performance.
I would have enjoyed the entire evening so much more if I truly could have heard the voices. A suggestion would be to mic the singers.

Description
Originally conceived in London in 1976 to educate the British public on the wit and wisdom of the master lyricist and composer, Side by Side by Sondheim features songs from earlier landmark Sondheim shows that ultimately revolutionized musical theatre – A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Company, Follies, A Little Night Music, Anyone Can Whistle, Pacific Overtures – as well as classics from West Side Story, Gypsy and Do I Hear a Waltz? – penned by Sondheim in collaboration with musical theatre legends Leonard Bernstein, Jule Styne and Richard Rodgers, to name a few.
Exploring common themes prevalent in many of Sondheim’s works: love, loss, marriage, relationships, disillusionment and acceptance, Side by Side by Sondheim is an urban, sophisticated revue filled with heart and humor that offers a glimpse into the creativity, wit and genius that is Stephen Sondheim.
Says director Dane Whitlock, "These are wonderfully rich and wickedly delightful songs. They are concise mini plays that are not only theatrical, but devastatingly personal. Every time I hear them, I discover something completely new and fresh.”
