Susan Stroman ... choreographer / conceived by
Tara Young ... assistant choreographer


20 songs in the Soundtracks, presented with the shows of origin, but no dates. They don't look to be presented chronologically, nor did I detect any theme to link one to the next.

Although they were (obviously) presented in concert, free of context from the shows of origin, we had some dancing, but in very limited space.

Seldom did we get the original singer of the song from the show.

I'm fairly certain this came as part of a box set of Sondheim stuff. 

83 IMDb voters give this 8.9; I can't imagine why.
