Stephen Sondheim‘s combination of scintillating, sophisticated lyrics and endlessly inventive music has delighted and devastated musical theater-loving audiences for decades. Bravo! Vail celebrates the life and career of this legendary genius responsible for groundbreaking shows like Follies, Company, Sweeney Todd, and Sunday in the Park with George, and recipient of countless awards (including more Tonys than any other composer, eight GRAMMY Awards, a Pulitzer Prize, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom, among others).
