This week on Kids Commute we've got a special guest: Danny Feldman, the Producing Artistic Director of the Tony Award-winning Pasadena Playhouse in California.
He's here with Kate to share some of his favorite Sondheim songs, talk about how a whole theatre company can win a Tony Award, and the lessons we can all learn from the great musical theatre composer and lyricist, Stephen Sondheim.
In their 2022-2023 season, the Pasadena Playhouse dedicated six months of their programming to a "Sondheim Celebration", honoring the life and work of the composer after his death in November 2021.
And while the Playhouse's ticketed celebration has come to a close, audiences can continue to celebrate Sondheim through this week of Kids Commute, Classical Sprouts, listening to cast albums, and by attending local theatrical productions!
This week on Kids Commute, go Into the Woods and to Ancient Rome, learn how to whistle and how to listen, and revive an old theatre back to its original glory!
