3 Faces of Steve: A Sondheim Cabaret, a song compendium that spans the breadth of Stephen Sondheim’s oeuvre, directed by soprano Angelina Réaux, who personally knew and worked with Sondheim, and featuring music direction by William Ah Sing. Three world class singers, including Réaux, baritone Michael Sokol and bari-tenor Bernardo Bermudez, sing solos, duets and trios from 14 of Sondheim’s classic stage works. Not “just another” Sondheim song-to -song revue, 3 Faces of Steve places dazzling songs from shows like Follies, Company, Sweeney Todd, Into the Woods, A Little Night Music and Merrily We Roll Along alongside Réaux’s personal and professional remembrances of the master. Audiences will hear favorites like Send in the Clowns, Being Alive and I’m Still Here, but also lesser-known masterworks like Finishing the Hat, Me and My Town and the hilarious The Boy From…

Réaux, perhaps best known for her collaborations with Leonard Bernstein and her association with the music of Kurt Weill, worked closely with Sondheim, including in the role of the Beggarwoman in Sweeney Todd. She has performed Sondheim’s music on concert stages and in theaters worldwide, from Washington’s Kennedy Center to the Boston Pops to the Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal. Writing in The Boston Globe, Richard Dyer called her “America’s most dramatic singer. She can sing with a disarming sweetness, gentle longing, passionate regret, deep anguish , white-hot rage, engaging wit, high hopes and worldly-wise cynicism— often in the course of a single song.”

Sokol is an opera singer and actor who has appeared on the stages of both the Metropolitan Opera in New York and Steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago.

Bermudez has performed leading roles in new operas throughout the U.S., playing roles such as Diego Rivera in Frida and Pleasure in The Romance of the Rose at Long Beach Opera. He has appeared with both Los Angeles Opera and San Diego Opera.
