Broadway's Masterpiece: Hirschfeld's Sondheim Book Launch #Broadway #HirschfeldsSondheim | NYC VIBE

September 2025 - Theater District NYC If you love musical theater - you will enjoy the new book, Hirschfeld’s Sondheim which is a deluxe oversized Hirschfeld poster book containing more than 50 drawings of Sondheim and his musicals, plays and films, including 25 full page images that can be easily removed and put right on a wall. On the reverse side - rare, ancillary images from the Hirschfeld archives At the unveiling event at the famous Alkonquin Hotel in the theater district, NYC VIBE caught up with David Leopold, Hirschfeld’s archivist and Creative Director of the Al Hirschfeld Foundation who told us how the shows and the drawings reflect the development of both artists. All of Sondheim’s best–known works 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 - in 25 ready–to–frame, removable art prints. There are also previously unpublished works including a triple portrait of Sondheim, George Gershwin and Jerome Kern. The guests talked about how Hirschfeld’s images capture the essence of the performances even better than the photographs of the shows. Hirschfeld’s drawings and Sondheim’s works are almost inextricably linked in the minds of theater lovers everywhere. Ever since Sondheim’s death in November 2021, his work and legacy have been enjoying a resurgence of appreciation, with productions like the recent Broadway revivals of Merrily We Roll Along, Company, and Into the Woods, and this season’s Stephen Sondheim's Old Friends. The innovative format of Hirschfeld’s Sondheim allows readers to see the works as never before. The twenty-five removable “posters” in this book also include extensive commentary that serves as an informative and well–presented coffee table book, making it a purchase with both collector’s appeal and practical use. Now for the first time, these artworks are presented at an accessible price point, making Hirschfeld’s works widely available to his and Sondheim’s fans. Details to purchase book can be found here: https://www.alhirschfeldfoundationshop.org/stage/product/hirschfelds-sondheim-signed-copy-of-book/ #HirschfeldsSondheim #AlHirschfeld #StephenSondheim #Sondheim #Broadway #MusicalTheater #Theater #ArtBook #PosterBook #NYC #AlgonquinHotel #TheaterDistrict #WestSideStory #SweeneyTodd #SundayInTheParkWithGeorge

June 2025 - Lower Manhattan - The Smart family's life takes a dramatic turn when tragedy forces them to confront their oversized dreams, struggles with identity and chaotic regional theater life. As theater manager parents (Allison Janney and Bryan Cranston) work to support their two sons - a hunky football star (Jack Champion) and his flamboyant, theater-loving younger brother (Benjamin Evan Ainsworth) - unexpected circumstances compel them to move in with Janney's estranged brother (Chris Cooper). What begins as a temporary arrangement soon unravels years of familial tension, prompting each member to reevaluate their place in the world and in their relationships. NYC VIBE was invited to the red carpet to talk with the cast and director Jon S. Baird who orchestrated this warmly observant comedy-drama with a perfect balance of sharp humor and poignant family dynamics. The powerhouse cast delivers nuanced performances, with Janney and Cranston demonstrating once again why they are among the most versatile actors working today. Their chemistry grounds the film's journey through artistic ambition and life's unexpected detours, while Cooper adds layers of complexity as the long-estranged brother. Beyond its headline-grabbing ensemble, the film's tender exploration of how families navigate change and disappointment resonates with authenticity as these deeply human characters stumble toward reconciliation and renewal in this stirring celebration of life's messy beauty. #bryancranston #allisonjanney #film #redcarpet #tribecafilmfestival #tribeca #jackchampion #movie #trailer
