Who is Broadways greatest composer?

[reverend B]

who is your all-time favorite composer for the broadway stage?
for me it is a no brainer. stephen sondheim has been the most innovative, creative, novel and sophisticated composer/lyricist in the history of the boards. "a little night music" is still my favorite piece of musical theatre of all time.
who do you guys like?

STEPHEN SONDHEIM

There is no one currently writing for the theater with more genius, and there hasn't been for a looooong time. Just my very humble opinion.

 

[LADY DI]

Andrew LLoyd Webber

 

[Addaperle]

Just because Moby Dick is an amazing show, I've got to say Robert Longden and Hereward Kaye!

 

[Kilted Stranger]

[Phantom Phan 2]

Andrew Lloyd webber!

 

[Kilted Stranger]

[Phantom Phan 2]

LYRICS--Tim Rice, Oscar Hammerstein
MUSIC--Andrew Lloyd Webber, Leonard Bernstein
BOTH--Stephen Sondheim

Without a doubt, Sondheim is to Broadway what Michael Jordan is to hoops.

 

[Rich48]

For me, there is none that come close to the music of Rodgers and Hammerstein's fantastic musicals.

ive never heard of Stephen Sondheim.... what musicals are his??

 

[tweek821]

Sondheim did shows like West Side Story, A Funny Thing Happened On The Way to the Forum, and other such classics, however, I don't think he's the best. I'd say it's gotta be either the team who did Chicago and Cabaret (Frank Ebb and John Kander) or Andrew Lloyd Webber!
