I will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart for Company. Worked on a production of it when I did summer stock when I was 17. I was "production assistant." In other words, I was the gofer to the stage manager. I also worked back stage during the performance.

I was saddened with this news, for he is the lyricist of my favourite musical "West Side Story".

R.I.P. Mr. Stephen Sondheim

I am wondering did he get to see Steven Spielberg's remake of "West Side Story", which has been in the can since December 2019, and is due for it's delayed release next month, which by coincidence falls around the 60th anniversary of the original movie back in 1961.

The lights in London's West End will be dimmed as theatres pay tribute to legendary US composer and songwriter Stephen Sondheim who has died aged 91.

The composer and lyricist, famous for creating the musical Sweeney Todd, was described as one of theatre's "greatest geniuses" after his death on Friday.

The lights will be dimmed for two minutes at 19:00 GMT on Monday.

Sir Cameron Mackintosh said the world had "lost one of its greatest and most original writers".

I am not one for crying over celebrities but I have to admit, I have shed a few tears over the last couple of days over the GREAT Stephen Sondheim. I totally feel the loss.
