Multi-award winning vocalist, Meg Flather, debuts Hammerstein & Sondheim CAREFULLY TAUGHT on Wednesday, August 16th at 7 PM at Don’t Tell Mama. The show is music directed by Tracy Stark and directed by Lennie Watts.
When Stephen Sondheim was 12 years old his parents got divorced. He and his mother moved to Doylestown, Pennsylvania where Stephen met young Jamie Hammerstein, and Jamie’s parents, Oscar and Dorothy Hammerstein. It was Oscar Hammerstein who taught Stephen Sondheim how to write songs, changing his life forever. In Hammerstein & Sondheim CAREFULLY TAUGHT, Flather explores the mentor and student relationship between the two Broadway songwriting legends, comparing and contrasting themes from their individual song catalogues.
