There are few musical theatre writers who require no introduction at all, but Stephen Sondheim is one of them. From his lyrics for West Side Story to the dramaturgical innovations of Company, Pacific Overtures and Assassins, there cannot be any writer of musical theatre who has not been knowingly or unknowingly influenced by him.

We recorded our talk with him as an audio file, which you can listen to using the player on the right.
