1 past events. Royce Hall, UCLA: A Little Night Conversation (March 13 at 20:00) Stephen Sondheim. Rare Appearance!
“The greatest and perhaps best-known artist in the American musical theater.” –Frank Rich (The New York Times)
The greatest (and perhaps last great) Broadway composer and lyricist of his generation, Stephen Sondheim stands alone among his peers as the true heir to such Broadway ... (more)masters as Rodgers and Hammerstein, Lerner and Loewe, and Irving Berlin. Getting his first big break as a lyricist for Leonard Bernstein’s immortal score for West Side Story, Sondheim went on to revolutionize musical theater with intricate and emotionally complex works full of unique musical ideas, daring subject matter and stunningly original lyrics. Some of Sondheim’s most famous shows include A Little Night Music, Sweeney Todd, Sunday in the Park with George, and Into the Woods.
A longtime fan and advocate, New York Times columnist and former theater critic Frank Rich interviewed Sondheim for The New York Times Magazine cover story to mark the artist’s 70th birthday. Since then, the two have become great friends, appearing only once before in conversation before an audience.

What?Q: What is this feature for/why is it necessary? A: Because LibraryThing draws from so many different libraries, it can't enforce a single name for a given author. "Also known as" lets LibraryThing users combine author's names easily, so collections match up and everything runs smoothly. Q: Can I combine with an author not suggested above? A: Yes you can. Q: I know an author is separate, but some infernal idiot keeps combining them. Can I take a name off the combination list? A: Yes you can. Look up! Everything in the "Combine with..." section now has a link to "never combine." Use this feature wisely. "Marc Twain" may be idiotic, but misspelling should still be combined. "Mark Twain" and "Edward Gibbon" should not. Q: What authors have already been slated to "never combine" with this author? A: No authors. Q: I am the infernal idiot and I'm right! A: Take it to the Combiners group.Q: What if this author is really two authors? A: We're working on a solution, but if you want you can post a brief disambiguation notice in the Common Knowledge section. Become a member to do this. Is this you?If you're an author, consider becoming an official LibraryThing Author. |
