Six by Sondheim
SIX BY SONDHEIM (December 9, 2013) is an intimate look at the prolific career of renowned American lyricist and composer Stephen Sondheim ("Company," "Follies," Sweeney Todd"), for whom art and life are never separate. This documentary is a story of both, highlighted by his experiences writing six of his most celebrated songs: Somethings Coming, Opening Doors," Send in the Clowns," I'm Still Here," Being Alive" and Sunday." Told primarily by Sondheim himself, the film draws on his extensive personal archive and dozens of interviews from all stages of his career, underscoring his honesty and passion for his art. New performances by such stars as Audra McDonald, Jarvis Cocker, Darren Criss, Jeremy Jordan, America Ferrera and Sondheim himself have been produced exclusively for the feature documentary. Directed by Tony winner James Lapine, with musical segments directed by Todd Haynes, Autumn de Wilde and James Lapine.

This is so great for him. I guess he'll be singing Something's Coming, considering he did that on Glee but so wonderful he got chosen!
