About Author

Stephen Sondheim

Stephen Joshua Sondheim (; March 22, 1930 – November 26, 2021) was an American composer and lyricist. Regarded as one of the most important figures in 20th-century theater, he is credited with reinventing the American musical. He received numerous accolades, including eight Tony Awards, an Academy Award, eight Grammy Awards, five Olivier Awards, and the Pulitzer Prize. He was inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame in 1982 and awarded the Kennedy Center Honor in 1993 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2015. Sondheim was mentored at an early age by Oscar Hammerstein II and later frequently collaborated with Harold Prince and James Lapine.

First sentence

Description

A little bit like Romeo and Juliet, Maria and Tony come from different worlds, but fall in love. Follow them through the streets of New York as their love is tested by disapproval of family and friends. Immortalized in Leonard Bernstein's musical.
