The theater world has lost one of its giants.
Stephen Sondheim redefined musical theater
Stephen Sondheim often chose unusual subject matter for his musicals.
(Bernadette Peters, seen here, starred as the Witch in the original production.)
Sondheim received multiple Tony Awards for his work, including one for Lifetime Achievement.
Not content to retire, the prolific composer was working on another musical at the time of his death.
Sadly, this project will likely be buried along with him.
Goodbye old friend, and thank you from all of us."
