Stephen Sondheim is a well-known songwriter for musical theater. Among his best known scores include West Side Story (lyrics, music by Leonard Bernstein), Gypsy (lyrics, music by Jule Styne), A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, A Little Night Music, Company, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Sunday in the Park with George, and Into the Woods.
