Stephen Sondheim 1930-2021

By DAVID DOW BENTLEY III “The People’s Critic“

As the world mourns the recent loss of legendary musical genius, Stephen Sondheim, I was moved to look back over the many times in the last two decades that I have had the pleasure of reviewing his work on the stage. For readers who care to reflect on his work, I include the links to my reports below. Finally, in anticipation of next month’s debut of the much-anticipated new Steven Spielberg film of “West Side Story,” I include links to three productions of that show that I enjoyed reviewing through the years. Enjoy!
