Side by Side by Sondheim

Long Beach Landmark Theatre Company presents Side by Side by Sondheim, a vibrant and reimagined celebration of one of musical theatre’s most iconic voices.
Originally premiering in 1976 as a London revue celebrating the work of Stephen Sondheim, the piece has become a beloved tribute to his enduring impact on the art form. Featuring songs from shows for which he wrote music, lyrics, or both—including Follies, West Side Story, Company, A Little Night Music, and Gypsy—this production is overflowing with Landmark heart and brings together a cast of 26 phenomenal performers in a dynamic, ensemble-driven take on the classic. With wit, warmth, and soaring musicality, Sondheim’s songs shine as a joyful tribute to connection, love, and the shared human experience—filling our beautiful historic space with music that soars to the rafters.
As Landmark looks toward the future and continues to define what it means to be a community theatre, we are committed to embracing talent, inclusivity, and the joyful creation of art. This production reflects that vision—artists coming together in celebration, collaboration, and a shared love of storytelling that we are proud to sustain for years to come.
Share with us another unforgettable theatrical experience from the heart of Long Beach. Presented in the stunning sanctuary of First Congregational Church of Long Beach, this
production runs from May 8 through May 17, 2026 with performances on Fridays and Saturdays at 7:00 PM and Sunday matinees at 2:00 PM.
