The work of Stephen Sondheim includes some of the most cherished musical theatre material in Broadway history. The complexities of his work transcend the music itself, wonderfully illustrating deep, profound, and conflicted characters who are rich in drama and psychopathology. Dr. Jaime Holtzer will examine classic psychological concepts along and possible diagnoses that shed light on Sondheim's characters' motivations, as well as the realism and depth he's imbued them with.
