The musical theatre of Stephen Sondheim probes deeply into the most
disturbing issues of contemporary life. By challenging his audience
with intricate music, biting wit, and profound themes, he flouts
the traditional wisdom of the musical theatre. Tracing Sondheim's
career from his initial success as lyricist for "West Side Story"
and "Gypsy" to his most recent work - "Into the Woods" and
"Assassins" - Joanne Gordon emphasizes not only the disturbing
content of Sondheim's work, but his innovative use of form. In
shows such as "A Little Night Music", "Sweeney Todd", and "Sunday
in the Park with George", Sondheim's music and lyrics are
inextricably woven into the fabric of the entire work.
