You know who's turning 91 years young on March 22nd? Mr. Stephen Sondheim.

The remarkable musical theatre composer has won 8 Tony Awards plus a Lifetime Achievement Tony in 2008. In 1985 with James Lapine, Sondheim won The Pulitzer Prize for Drama for the beautiful musical Sunday in the Park With George. His decades long career as a lyricist and composer has gifted Broadway with musicals including Company, Follies, Into The Woods, Gypsy, Sweeney Todd and West Side Story only to name a few! He also has a gorgeous Broadway theatre named after him on West 43rd Street.
