The Works of Sondheim

This was Sondheim's first work. The first song he ever wrote, "I'll Meet You at the Donut," was included in this work.

This was one of two shows Sondheim wrote and produced while at Williams College. Co-written wtih Josiah T.S. Horton.

The second show preformed at Williams College.

Sondheim initally was not meant to write lyrics for this show, but after a series of auditions he was picked. He was going to turn it down because he wanted to compose music. But, he was urged by his father-figure Oscar Hammerstien to take the job, so he did. The initial show ran 732 shows and made a name for Stephen Sondheim's lyrics.

Again, Sondheim was asked to write lyrics, but gladly accepted the offer this time. Gypsy ran 702 performances.

This was the first show completely written by Sondheim that was preformed on Broadway. It won him many accolades including a Tony for Best Musical.

This was the first show that by Sondheim that would "flop" on Broadway. Many said it was too far ahead of its time for the audience to understand and enjoy.

As a favor to Oscar Hammerstien Sondheim wrote a musical with the renound Richard Rogers. The show suffered because of the team's lack of caring for it, but it was not a complete flop.

Company was the first of six shows that Hal Prince and Sondheim created together. This musical is about marriage, and the ironic part is that when it was written Sondheim had no experience with serious marital relationships, but it was still a hit.

This show was a collaboration with Hal Prince. Hal agreed to help Sondheim with Follies if he helped with a musical called Company.
