I've seen my favorites of his - Sweeney Todd and Assassins - live, in excellent productions, multiple times each. Some of my very best theatre experiences.
I have two icons with Sondheim quotes at the moment, and I always have at least that many in rotation.
I never imagined I could love any musical as much as anything Sondheim until I heard Hamilton. Now when it comes to musicals, I love Hamilton and Sondheim.
In college, a friend and I used to compete in singing "Not Getting Married Today." I could do the fast parts pretty well. My favorite part is "but by Monday I'll be floating down the Hudson with the other garbage."
I dragged a guy in my graduate class to Assassins, even though he hated musicals; forever after he said "I hate musicals unless they're by Sondheim."
91 years old, sharp and honored and beloved to the end.
