Stephen Sondheim is cool now
The late composer/lyricist was once considered an acquired taste — but with three shows running in New York and another on tour, he's a hit.
Stephen Sondheim — composer-lyricist for A Little Night Music, Sweeney Todd, and more than a dozen other musicals — is having "a moment" as one of his Into the Woods lyrics might have put it.
Or perhaps a better fit for the Broadway legend, who was widely regarded as brilliant but an acquired taste when he died in 2021, would be a tweak to a lyric from the song "Children and Art" in Sunday in the Park with George:
"There he is, there he is, there he is,
Sondheim is everywhere,
Broadway must love him so much."
Indeed, the hottest ticket on the Great White Way at the.
