Stephen Sondheim Concert Tickets
Witness a favorite classical music spectacle with Stephen Sondheim tickets. Composer, lyricist and writer Stephen Sondheim has been an iconic figure in musical theatre since the 1950s. A Broadway legend, he is famous for his complex musicality, meticulous attention to rhyme and mordant sense of humour. He has won many Tony, Grammy and Olivier Awards, an Academy Award and a Pulitzer, and the Kennedy Centre Honours. His musicals have been revived several times and his songs recorded by an array of major artists.
He has written television shows and movie scripts and successful memoirs. Born in New York City, Sondheim spent his teenage years in Doylestown, Pennsylvania after his parents divorced. There, he met lyricist Oscar Hammerstein II, who took him under his wing, and he worked as an assistant on the 1947 show 'Allegro', which Hammerstein wrote with Richard Rodgers.
He studied music at Williams College with composer Milton Babbitt, and in the early '50s he moved to Los Angeles where he contributed scripts for the television series 'Topper' and 'Rendezvous'. Back in New York in 1956, he wrote an underscore for a play after meeting composer Leonard Bernstein and choreographer Jerome Robbins who needed a lyricist. The result was the hit show 'West Side Story' and when it became a film in 1962 the soundtrack became the longest running number one album on the Billboard chart with 54 weeks on top.
Sondheim wrote the lyrics for composer Jule Styne's hit show 'Gypsy' (1959) and with 'A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to the Forum' (1962) he began his career of writing words and music for all his musicals. The show ran for almost one thousand performances and was awarded Best Musical at the Tony Awards.
Sondheim went on to achieve similar successes with his future shows, including several that were adapted for film: 'Gypsy', 'A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to the Forum', 'Passion', 'A Little Night Music', 'Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street' and 'Into the Woods'. There have been several TV productions of his musicals and his songs have been featured in a great many TV documentaries and series.
He wrote five songs for Madonna in Warren Beatty's 1990 comic hero film 'Dick Tracy' and one of them, 'Sooner Or Later (I Always Get My Man)', won the Academy Award for Best Song. Besides these many music awards, Stephen Sondheim has also been given the US Presidential Medal of Freedom and the PEN/Allen Foundation Literary Award. There are several books about him and his works including his own, titled 'Finishing the Hat: The Collected Lyrics of Stephen Sondheim With Attendant Comments, Principles, Heresies, Grudges, Whines and Anecdotes'.
In 2008, a CD boxset of 82 recordings of his songs was released featuring a huge cast of artists including Angela Lansbury, Nathan Lane, Liza Minnelli, Bernadette Peters, Mandy Patinkin and Mel Tormé.
