How Sondheim can change your life
Schoch, Richard W.2024
Book
For fans of musical theatre, Stephen Sondheim is one of the true titans - the genius who brought us Sweeney Todd and West Side Story, Into the Woods, and Company. With acclaimed revivals of his landmark shows regularly performed in London and New York, and new generations being introduced to the man who forever transformed musical theatre, Sondheim's legacy has only grown. What is it about such classic songs as 'Being Alive' from Company, 'No One Is Alone' from Into the Woods, or 'Send in the Clowns' from A Little Night Music (to name but a few) that still resonates for so many? In this book, Richard Schoch shows how Sondheim's greatness (beyond the clever lyrics and adventurous music) lies in his ability to tell stories that speak to all of us.
