Re: STEPHEN SONDHEIM

[ Edited ]

Who remembers the YouTube 90th-birthday tribute to Sondheim that Meryl Streep, Audra McDonald and Christine Baranski made during the beginning, miserable throes of the pandemic?  It was a hoot.

 

The three sang Sondheim's "The Ladies Who Lunch" in their "pandemic misery" attire (bathrobes) as they imbibed too much alcohol (for the video, I am sure).    LOL

Broadway theaters will dim their lights for Stephen Sondheim  on Wednesday, December 8 at 6:30 p.m. ET.

 

“It is impossible to measure Stephen Sondheim’s impact on the world of musical theatre,” said Charlotte St. Martin, President of The Broadway League in announcing the one-minute marquee light dimming, a Broadway tradition. “During a career that spanned nearly 65 years, he created music and lyrics that have become synonymous with Broadway – from Gypsy and West Side Story to A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Follies, Into the Woods, Sweeney Todd, Sunday in the Park with George, and too many more to name. It is hard to imagine Broadway without him, but we know his legacy will live on for many years to come, including in this season’s revival of Company opening December 9.”
