Stephen Sondheim is officially 90 years old today! Happy birthday!
I was every one of these kids 20 years ago, and I am still all of these kids. Absolutely beautiful.
I'll miss Sondhiem September... *cries silently*
i first saw the Broadway production of COMPANY when i was 21 years old and from that moment on he has affected my life more than any other musician...i am now 68!...:)
I was crying listening to all the people talking about Sondheim..... How can a composer do this to me?!?
oh I just love this. wouldn't it be incredible if Steve saw this?!?! (why did I call him Steve like I know the man personally lmao). Even if he doesn't, he knows. oh he knows. man I want to be friends with all these people here, Sondheim forever!!
This actually made me cry! I am obsessed with Stephen Sondheim's work, it is the reason why I got into musical theatre, which really saved my life. Every word of this video that these people have said sums up everything!
I'm so happy right now. I was IN A MUSICAL THEATER MASH VIDEO ABOUT SOMETHING I LOVE. Thank you Mr Tommy.
i made it in... wanna hug everyone in the video. big hug to everyone :)
4.57 - 5.02 is the best reaction and sums up my feelings exactly !
Wow, what an amazing video. I hope Stephen Sondheim himself sees this.
Thank you Tommy for letting us Sondheim freaks have a moment in the sun.
Naomi McIlvaine ikr! I'm right there with you 😊
God, it's surreal going back to this now that's he passed. R.I.P. to a legend, I hope he's happy, wherever he is now.
Last year I came home from a really bad day, and collapsed on my couch. I opened youtube and in my suggested videos was a version of the Sweeney Todd show with Brynn Terfel and Emma Thompson - My mood immediately changed. What had been a terrible day became a great one, through two hours of excellent musical theatre. Just... love.
Beautifully glued together. I bloody love your videos man! Keep it up x
regards from a Belgian MT student.
Oh my god I can't believe my silly failed endslate got into the video. I've never been so proud :,)
Why does no one ever talk about a little night music? It's an harmonic and melodic treasure :D
agreed
I mean, I wish someone spoke about Pacific Overtures, you can't do it man! What in the world to pick!?!?! Sondheim is great in every work.
Aníbal Samos Yeah, I find that even Saturday Night has great and interesting songs!
I've listened to about 250 Sondheim songs and still haven't found one I don't like. Pretty impressive for a 60 years career if you ask me.
Aníbal Samos Gods, I LOVE Pacific Overtures. Someone In A Tree is possibly his best song ever.
@TheSimo182 IKR? My first exposure to Sondheim's music was Judy Collins's recording of Send in the Clowns, released in 1975. Learning about music wasn't so simple back then, but I discovered neighbors who were Sondheim fans. First, I went from Send In The Clowns to A Little Night Music in its entirety, where I would let myself get lost in the layers and layers of music and lyrics. And then on and on through all the wonderful works we heard about in this video. Like so many, I cannot help tear up when listening to or seeing Sondheim's work performed. It is simply a perfectly pleasant combination of soul touching, whispering, shouting, feeling, hearing overload of the senses.
Sondheim is such a genius and the musical theatre world is blessed by his existence. I was introduced to a lot of Sondheim when I was too young to really understand a good deal of it, but I loved it anyway, and it made for some great moments as I grew up and matured and suddenly understood things. I remember discovering the second act of Into the Woods when I was nine or so and the feeling like the whole world had suddenly changed. And the moment when it suddenly dawned on me that Pretty Lady was actually about soliciting sex.
Loved this month. Thank you Musical Theatre Mash!!!!!
What an amazing month you and Mr. Sondheim have gifted us. For that, I thank you :)
Sondheim. Sondheim. Sondheim. It’s cliche to say, but he was responsible for a major change in my life. The first Sondheim show I saw was “Company” (at the Ahmanson Theater of the LA Music Center). Touted as one of the first musicals to be plotless and representing just a moment in the life of the lead character (Bobby), it was not simply a ‘musical comedy’ but more of a ‘musical tragicomedy’. It spoke to the state of marriage in the urban environment, the life of a single man in Manhattan who socializes with mainly married couples, and the societal pressure to pair off with someone as soon as possible. In the end, we (the audience) have examined our own lives, New York City culture and our need to connect with others.
Near the end of my first year of college, I found myself and a friend dropping out of college to travel to New York and begin a career in the American theatre. “Follies” was playing at the Winter Garden Theater, which had a broken latch on one of their lobby doors, so my friend and I snuck into half a dozen post-intermission performances of the seminal musical. We took to waiting outside the stage door after each of these ‘half-performances’, meeting and speaking with much of the Follies cast (including Dorothy Collins, Alexis Smith, John McMartin, Gene
I love this video! I wish I could talk to all of you and we could all nerd out together! I feel so connected. Thank you Tommy for including me in this!
Bruh. I am so devastated. I wish I could shake his hands and tell him how much he carried me through life with his work. I'll wish this eternally now. Look, Steve. I made a hat.
This had me in tears. So relatable and so beautiful. Thank you , I needed this today.
Get this video to Stephen at once!
Wow! This came out beautifully, and I feel honored to be a part of this video. I hope this video inspires others to tell their stories. It is a very magical thing, and I wish really there was channel like yours when I was younger. But no one else could have put it together better. Thank you!
You were all so eloquent and beautiful. Thank you.
This was genuine, beautiful, and powerful and I am so proud that I was able to be a part of this video. Thank you, Tommy, for doing this and thank you, Sondheezy, for being who you are.
This is so beautiful.
Beautiful sentiments. I'm sorry I didn't get around to my submission.
4:12 favorite part. So beautiful. Thank you, Tommy!!!!!👏😭🙏🙏👏
Musical Theatre Mash, thank you! This month has been amazing. Thank you.
That was beautiful!
Perfect!
AMAZING! I relate to everyone in this video. It warmed my heart today =]
I was 17 when I was featured in this video, feels really weird revisiting it 4 years later lol
Really great video
That made me cry so bad!
Amazing video.
So sad this is over!😭😭😭
Damn it, I cried. I love him so goddamn much.
Random q...
Has anyone ever heard of the musical "The Race To Urga AKA The Exception And The Rule"? It was gonna be a reunion with Leonard Bernstein and Sondheim, and upon listening to the demo, it's actually really sad it was never made. Really good. My personal Sondheim favorite is Sweeney Todd (not the movie though), and Anyone Can Whistle
Stephen Sondheim sadly passed away today, which makes this video even more poignant now.
What a great video. I never cried because of a youtube video...
Sadly my Story didn't made it into the video, but that's ok...
I really want to see the whole storys of everyone...
Sorry I missed out on being in your video, but I just wanted to tell you that the first time I was introduced to Sondheim was back in 2006. I was in the sixth grade and my middle school did a production of Into the Woods Jr, ever since then the title song has been stuck in my head.
Are all these in RUclips? I wanna watch all the videos!
I love all these people! Please, if you were in the video, reply to my comment here and I'll subscribe to you! You are all beautiful tropical fish! Thank you Mr. Mash and everyone else apart of this! I'm not crying...I swear...
Thanks! I don't really make videos, but I feel such a wonderful sense of friendship with you all. "How seldom it is that one meets a fellow spirit! With fellow taste in musicals at least!"

Bradley Johnson thank you! I don't post too often but I'm gonna start posting a lot more soon

Yes Sweeney Todd Quote !!!!!!!!!!
HEY TOMMY I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU THAT THE VIDEO WAS GREAT I WAS ONLY IN THERE LIKE 3 TIMES BUT THAT'S OKAY BECAUSE I REALIZE I WAS A LOT LESS ARTICULATE THAN THE REST AND THAT'S ALSO OKAY. sorry about caps lock lol
edit: I still love the passion and feelings that people evoke when experiencing a sondheim musical. Sorry for the cheap joke/complaint, still love ya maaaaaaaan.
I own 2 different t shirts from this full video collab hah
Who's the blonde boy? I'm kindof in love with him
Please please please review The Secret Garden Musical!!!
Where's yours? #Tommy'sSondheimStory
It's right next to the rest of Julie Taymor July.
Jacob Lowrey 😬
Jacob Lowrey the difference is, people will actually ENJOY his Sondheim story.
As a fan of your work as well Jess, I'd love to see your full video :)
Eyyyyyyyy I'm the only English guy!!!!
Yet Broadway has strayed away from the poignant, original, and profound crafts of Sondheim musicals in favor of appealing the masses by bringing up more and more jukeboxes. Sigh.
Not necessarily. Sure the broadway scene is more commercial, but it's not like it's never been before. There are still good musicals that are profound, like Fun Home, Hamilton, and.... Ok well you get my point. But I agree, jukebox musicals suck.
***** Fun Home is a true gem, but I don't know about Hamilton. The trend I am more concerning is the masses seem to be alienating old school musicals. Many great revivals closed way too soon and Doctor Zhivago disappeared into the thin air after merely 3 weeks of performances. Sondheim barely even gets a formal revival on Broadway these days. Musicals are much more diverse now for sure, but I hope there are still rooms for those blasts from the past. Otherwise I'm afraid the identity of this art form is slowly slipping away.
I understand your point of view. But I think that's just the natural course of art forms. No one is ever going to forget old musicals. People are always going to remember old musicals that bent the art form and made it more flexible. Oklahoma, Show Boat, Pal Joey, classics that people often refer to when thinking about essential musicals. And yes, the people who wrote those musicals did change what musical theatre could be. Art is constantly changing; the form, scene, and definition. Maybe it is scary that classics seem to simply be fading into the past, but as long as they still EXIST, then they'll never be forgotten. idk i may be wrong this is just my opinion maaaaaaaaaan
***** That's alright I respect that. I may as well be just a little bit too obsessed with the past.
By the way, if you're into a hauntingly gorgeous score, definitely check out the recording for Doctor Zhivago. It's failure last year was such a tragedy and caused me to start questioning modern audiences' taste.
Thanks man, also thanks for the recommendation. ;)
Ohhhh Noooo....I just became a fan, but most of these guys were really irritating!
