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 There are also previously unpublished works including a triple portrait of Sondheim, George Gershwin and Jerome Kern.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

August 2025 - Theater District NYC: Outside the St. James Theatre, Tony® and Emmy® Winner Kristin Chenoweth joined Academy Award® winner F. Murray Abraham to introduce the complete cast for the highly anticipated Broadway premiere of The Queen of Versailles. Directed by Tony Award® winner Michael Arden with music and lyrics by Academy Award winner Stephen Schwartz, and a book by Olivier Award® nominee Lindsey Ferrentino, The Queen of Versailles will begin performances on Wednesday, October 8, with an opening night set for Sunday, November 9. From computer engineer to Mrs. Florida to billionairess, Jackie Siegel saw herself as the embodiment of the American Dream. As the wife of David "The Timeshare King" Siegel and mother of their eight children, they invited America to visit their most grandiose venture yet: They built the largest private home in America in Orlando, Florida – a $100 million house big enough for her dreams and inspired by the Palace of Versailles. NYC VIBE caught up with Academy award winner F Murray Abraham outside the theater to reflect on his role and how he approached it.. But with the Great Recession of 2008 looming, Jackie and David's dreams begin to crumble, along with their lavish lifestyle. The Queen of Versailles on Broadway explores the true cost of fame and fortune, and one family’s pursuit of the American Dream – no matter cost. The Queen of Versailles was a documentary back in 2012 that took us behind the front doors of a billionaire family and their financial challenges in the wake of the economic crisis. With epic proportions of Shakespearean tragedy, the film follows two unique characters, whose rags-to-riches success stories reveal the innate virtues and flaws of the American Dream. Now prepare to be entrained - laugh and cry with this family on Broadway this fall
