Stephen Sondheim 80th Birthday Celebration

Information

Owner: MTI Showspace Host

Description: On March 22, 2010, musical theatre legend Stephen Sondheim will celebrate his 80th birthday. The composer/lyricist of groundbreaking work such as COMPANY, SWEENEY TODD, SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE, ASSASSINS, and PASSION, and the lyricist of Broadway classics WEST SIDE STORY and GYPSY, Sondheim has redefined what musical theatre can do, and his influence is evident in the generation of writers after him. Spanning a wide range of subject matter, musical style, and structure, Sondheim's music and lyrics have made audiences experience great joy, bittersweet sadness, and the love of acceptance. Written with brilliant bookwriters such as Arthur Laurents, George Furth, and John Weidman, Sondheim's shows are just as relevant today as they were the day they first opened. Revivals of WEST SIDE STORY and A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC currently light up Broadway, and his latest, ROAD SHOW, played off-Broadway's the Public Theatre in fall of 2008.
