Broadway Pays Tribute To Stephen Sondheim
Broadway have paid tribute to the American composer Stephen Sondheim, who sadly passed away last Friday at the age of 91.
The star was said to have been “the theater’s most revered and influential composer-lyricist of the last half of the 20th century, and the driving force behind some of Broadway’s most beloved and celebrated shows,” as reported by The New York Times.
Stars have been paying tribute to Sondheim – Hugh Jackman writing, “Every so often someone comes along that fundamentally shifts an entire art form. Stephen Sondheim was one of those.”
