A BED AND A CHAIR: A New York Love Affair celebrates love in New York and love of New York. For this original production, native Manhattanite Sondheim and adopted citizen Marsalis (originally from New Orleans) compared musical notes on their shared passion for our city. The program will feature more than two dozen Sondheim compositions, each piece newly re-imagined by the unique musical sensibility of Marsalis and performed by Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. Performers will be drawn from both the jazz and Broadway worlds.
