Our curated selection of reviews
Knowing Sondheim only by his music and lyrics feels like only a paint-by-number painting, after listening to this engaging and illuminating story of Stephen Sondheim the man. Simply a delightful series that adds to the complete painting of the enigmatic composer and lyricist! So many talents and friends created this tribute to one of Broadway's brightest lights.

Two episodes in, I’ve learned that I need to be careful about when I listen to this podcast, because it will make me cry at least once per episode. So lovely to hear these anecdotes directly from Sondheim’s friends and colleagues! And on a more poignant subject, I’m grateful that the creators got audio from these musical theater giants, before we lose them all.

First off, this is a beautiful, thoughtful and wonderful podcast. Thank you for giving us the chance to get to know the real Sondheim. However, it can be extremely hard to hear the guests. I am so thankful there’s a transcript for every episode as I usually miss about 60% of the episode. I can hear the hosts and background music very well.

Wonderful material undercut by a too busy musical soundtrack and unnecessary reenactments. The overloaded soundtrack often overpowers the terrific interviews.
Still, catnip for Stephen Sondheim fans
