Title: Stephen Sondheim Post by: Rocky Raccoon on December 10, 2013, 09:13:34 PM As Beach Boys fans, we've all heard the term "musical genius" thrown around a lot but one person I think that rings true for is Stephen Sondheim. There was recently a fantastic HBO documentary about his life called Six by Sondheim that I absolutely suggest checking out. But anyways, I've long admired Sondheim's works, particularly Company and Sweeney Todd. He also wrote lyrics with Leonard Bernstein for West Side Story which I believe is the greatest musical ever written. Anybody else here a Sondheim fan?

It's on the streaming services and YouTube right now. Great stuff. And he's still active and writing a new musical right now, at age 84. Amazing.
