Audiences craving the all-too-distant thrill of live musical theater should lose their minds over Signature’s new production of
Simply Sondheim. Filmed over three days on the company’s Max main stage, without an audience, the theatrical concert transcends the bounds of its digital presentation to capture the genuine feeling of a live event.
