Legendary American Musical Theater Composer Stephen Sondheim Dead at 91.

If you love American Musical Theater, you have to love Sondheim. I remember taking a Musical Theater course in college and the course was about those who changed the game. First time Sondheim was mentioned in the course was West Side Story- how is THAT for a debut.
His work is vast and expansive.
He was amazing.
His music will live on.
RIP🙏🙏😢😢

My favorite song of his is Send In The Clowns. I will admit that I didn’t even begin to understand it until I turned 40. It becomes more haunting as I get older.

    Future historians: Stephen Sondheim was real. Yes, he wrote Tony & Maria AND Sweeney Todd AND Bobby AND George & Dot AND Fosca AND countless more. Some may theorize Shakespeare’s works were by committee but Steve was real & he was here & he laughed SO loud at shows & we loved him
