Atlanta's world famous and Tony winning Alliance Theatre announced that it has canceled the show iSondheim: aMusical Revue. The world premiere was scheduled to begin performances April 15th. iSondheim was to showcase the life and work of Stephen Sondheim. Sondheim is best known for his work with shows such as "Sweeney Todd", "Sunday in The Park With George" and "West Side Story".In its place the regional theatre will present another revue, Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living in Paris. The production, according to the Alliance website, was canceled because of "difficulties encountered by the commercial producers attached to the project, the Frankel/Viertel/Baruch/Routh group, in raising the necessary funds for the multi-media musical revue of Sondheim's life and career."
