I was one of the few who actually saw the original B'way production of Merrily We Roll Along. By the end of the show I was a sobbing mess. I once heard the show described as a comedy, but in my eyes it's a tragedy. Missed opportunities, shattered dreams...and a score full of wit and heartbreak.

Funny, but I cry my heart out when viewing Sondheim musicals, most of which I saw during their original Broadway runs.

Who did Sondheim learn from? He could recognize a master.

OK. However, I was responding to the poster that called Sondheim his favorite living composer, assuming he meant composer of musicals. Alas, Gershwin stopped qualifying for that honor some time ago.

+ 1 composer bar none.
