Stephan Sondheim
is, indisputably, the reigning composer-lyricist of the contemporary American
musical theatre. No event is more anticipated in any Broadway season than
the opening of a new Sondheim show.
He was born in New York City,
and attended Williams College where he majored in music. As an undergraduate
he gained a certain celebrity on campus by writing the book, music, and
lyrics for two college shows. His first professional job after graduation
was writing scripts for the Topper television series. He made his Broadway
debut in 1956 with the incidental music for Girls of Summer, but it was
in the following year that he first commanded major attention with the
lyrics for West Side Story and, after that, Gypsy.
In 1962, Sondheim emerged
as a composer as well as a lyricist, with the score for A Funny Thing Happened
on the Way to the Forum. Subsequently, he created the music and lyrics
for Anyone Can Whistle, Company, Follies, A Little Night Music, Pacific
Overatures, Sweeney Todd, Merrily We Roll Along, Sunday in the Park with
George, and Into the Woods, as well as the lyrics for Do I Hear a Waltz?,
and additional lyrics for Candide. These works have received an astounding
11 Tony nominations for Best Musical, as well as four New York Drama Critics’
Circle awards and a Pulitzer Prize for Drama. His music and lyrics have
been honored with five Tony awards.
In addition to his work in
the theatre, he composed the film scores for Stavisky and Reds, songs for
the television production Evening Primrose, co-authored (with Anthony Perkins)
the film The Last of Sheila, and, for a time, created crossword puzzles
for the New York Times Magazine.
He is a council member of
the Dramatists Guild and served as its president from 1973 to 1981. In
1983 he was elected to the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters.
People ask me why I continue
writing for the stage. The answer is simple: the theatre is the only dramatic
medium that acknowledges the presence of an audience. Movies do not. If
you boo at a movie screen, they go right on acting. If you laugh, they
won’t stop for you. You have no effect on them and you know it from the
minute you sit down. In the theatre you’re aware that the community experience
exists between the stage and you. And that’s what’s unique about it.
— Stephen Sondheim
