Lord Knows At Least I Was There Working With Stephen Sondheim

When The Atlanta-born Paul Ford First Fell In Love With The American Musical Theatre At The Age Of Five, After Seeing The Movie Version Of Rodgers & Hammersteins South Pacific, He Never Imagined That His Future Skills As A Piano Thumper Would Lead Him To A Career On Broadway Playing Rehearsals Or In The Pit For Such Classic Stephen Sondheim Musicals As Sunday In The Park With George, Follies In Concert, Into The Woods, Assassins (both Off-broadway And The Broadway Revival), Passion, The 2005 Production Of Pacific Overtures, Wiseguys, Stephen Sondheim At Carnegie Hall, And Numerous Concerts, Birthday Tributes, And Television Spectaculars. In Two Of His Tony Award Acceptance Speeches, Sondheim Publicly Declared Paul Ford The Indefatigable Master Of The Musical Theatre And The Worlds Most Tireless Rehearsal Pianist And A Walking Memory Bank Of Every Song That Has Ever Been Written For Any Musical On Any Continent. For More Than 25 Years, Paul Ford Was Also Mandy Patinkins Exclusive Accompanist And Musical Collaborator On A Series Of Recordings And Live Concerts That Took The Duo From Broadway To London To Australia And Beyond.
