The greatest Broadway composer and lyricist of his generation, Stephen Sondheim is the true heir to such Broadway masters as Rodgers and Hammerstein, Lerner and Loewe, and Irving Berlin. After his first big break for West Side Story, Sondheim went on to revolutionize musical theater with intricate and emotionally complex works including A Little Night Music, Sweeney Todd, Sunday in the Park with George, and Into the Woods. KCRW’s “Bookworm” creator and host Michael Silverblatt will join Sondheim on stage for an engaging discussion of the renowned composer’s storied career and his approach to the craft. Don’t miss this rare speaking engagement in celebration of the American master’s 80th birthday.
