There’s impossible-to-ignore alchemy with Sondheim’s shows that offers a serious challenge to its audience, one I probably wasn’t truly ready for as a teen, but I couldn’t stay away. When I became old enough (and sufficiently online) to discover what Sondheim created, it was a form of artistic graduation. Bad things happen but good wins the day, and the earworms become inescapable. I spent my youth loving films like Oliver! and the ’90s Disney canon, which are excellent pieces of work but certainly part of that old cliche of the musical being a toe-tapping platform for frivolity. If you’re a kid who grows up loving musicals, then discovering Sondheim is a special kind of magic. No proclamation of his genius is grand enough to encapsulate what he did. He is as defining a figure to musicals as the Beatles are to pop music. He won nine Tony Awards, an Oscar, eight Grammys, a Pulitzer Prize, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and it still wasn’t enough. Over the course of seven decades, he helped to rewrite the musical in ways that are impossible to overstate. It felt like a greater shock than one would have imagined the death of a nonagenarian being, but if there was a celebrity who we all thought had the potential to live forever, it was Sondheim.
