Kritzerland is proud to present a new CD release:

BY SIDE BY SIDE BY SIDE BY SIDE
BY STEPHEN SONDHEIM
The 23rd Annual STAGE Benefit Concert

The annual STAGE benefits have been going on for over twenty-five years now – they are always an exciting event, peopled with wonderful performers doing wonderful music. Several of them have been recorded live and released on CD, including the Kritzerland release of Schwartz, Schwartz, and Strouse. We are very pleased to present three never before released recordings, starting with this amazing tribute to a musical theatre legend: Stephen Sondheim.

Featuring a glittering array of performers, including Len Cariou, Sally Ann Howes, Patrick Cassidy, Shaun Cassidy, Ann Hampton Callaway, Nancy Dussault, Betty Garrett, Randy Graff, Alice Ripley, Michelle Nicastro, Felicity Huffman, Marc Cherry, Valarie Pettiford, Charlotte Rae, Carole Cook, Rip Taylor, and many others, all performing the brilliant Sondheim songs from such classics as Follies, Company, A Little Night Music, Anyone Can Whistle, Merrily We Roll Along, A Funny Thing Happened On The Way to the Forum, Into the Woods and more.

Recorded live, with all the vitality and excitement and, yes, sometimes roughness that goes with the territory. It was a once-in-a-lifetime evening and it’s captured here in this two CD set.

The price is $24.98 plus shipping. A portion of the proceeds goes to AIDS Project, Los Angeles, and other AIDS organizations. We’re also pleased to offer a special sale price for those who wish to purchase all three titles. Just click on the link.

CD will ship by the fourth week of May – however, preorders placed directly through Kritzerland usually ship one to five weeks earlier (we’ve been averaging four weeks early).
