Happy Birthday, Stephen Sondheim...
The greatest creative talent in American musical theater turns 78 years young today. This seven-time Tony winner is responsible for virtually all my favorite Broadway shows.
His most famous scores include (as composer/lyricist) "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum," "Company," "Follies," "A Little Night Music," "Sweeney Todd," "Sunday in the Park with George," "Into the Woods," and "Assassins," as well as, get this, the lyrics for "West Side Story" and "Gypsy."
About Out

Greg Hernandez has covered the entertainment industry for the Daily News since 2001. He's considered a bit odd by some for his obsession with box office numbers, has been known to camp out near the kitchen at premieres for first crack at the hors d'oeurves, and Greg's never seen a red carpet he didn't want to stroll down.
