A swanky Manhattan cocktail party provides the setting for a cast of five who use
Stephen Sondheim's exquisite songs to examine the ups and downs of two
relationships in "Putting it Together," running Jan. 27-Feb. 15 at Syracuse Stage.
The stellar cast of Broadway performers includes Tony Award winners Lillias White,
Chuck Cooper, Tyler Hanes, Andre Ward and Stephanie Youell. Tickets are available
at the Syracuse Stage Box Office at 820 E. Genesee St., by telephone at (315) 443-
3275 or http://www.SyracuseStage.org.
"Putting It Together" showcases 30 of Sondheim's most beloved songs from such
musicals as "Sunday in the Park with George," "Assassins," "Company," "Merrily
We Roll Along," "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum," "A Little
Night Music" and "Sweeney Todd." Many of the classic Sondheim songs are
presented in a context entirely different from that for which they were written.
"It is always wonderful working on material by Stephen Sondheim, one of the most
important American theatre artists," said Director Rajendra Ramoon Maharaj. "I love
the idea behind 'Putting It Together,' where one couple well into their marriage 'tests'
a younger couple full of hope and newness. Theatergoers will experience an evening
that's contemporary New York-sophisticated, elegant, thought provoking and
funny."
Tickets range from $24-$48 with discounts for seniors, students, groups and Syracuse
Stage subscribers. Tickets can be purchased in person at the Syracuse Stage Box
Office at 820 E. Genesee St., by telephone at (315) 443-3275 or online at

students with I.D., and can be reserved day of performance by calling ($5 fee) or by
