Showtune Sunday: All About Stephen Sondheim!

Stephen Sondheim is responsible for such classic shows as A Little Night Music, Sweeney Todd, Follies, Company, and Sunday in the Park With George and wrote the lyrics for Gypsy and West Side Story just to name a handful.

He turns 85 years old today so it would be ridiculous not to feature numbers from his shows on Showtune Sunday.

But how do you decide?

Well, I’m going to make an executive decision and pick a handful of my favorites. But I’d love to hear what your faves are and next week we can do a reader’s choice column. If selected, I will include your name and what number you chose!

By the way, these photos are from Sondheim’s 80th birthday celebration when such Tony winning legends as Bernadette Peters, Patti LuPone, Elaine Stritch, Audra MacDonald and others performed his numbers.

Here are some of my faves:
