Posted: 3/23/10 at 9:26amDo any of you realize that this "honor" was bought and paid for? It's as much an honor as The American Airlines and The Ford Center/Hilton on 42nd Street.

There are some theaters which should NEVER be re-named - The St. James, the Music Box, the Winter Garden. They are sacrosanct. But I don't object to money being raised to re-name Henry Miller theater the Sondheim or the Martin Beck the Hirschfeld. I do loathe the Jacobs, the Schoenfeld and the American Airlines theater. I kinda like the Snapple Theater, though! :)
But IMHO, the coolest re-naming was when when Andrew Lloyd Weber bought the Strand in 2005 (formerly the Waldorf Theater) and re-named it the Ivor Novello, who had been pretty much forgotten. I'd love for London to have a Jessie Matthews theater, too.
I do love the design for the awning of the Sondheim. Very elegant with his signature written in lights.

I know you.

Posted: 3/23/10 at 10:07amI'll bet he's the only Broadway luminary to have what was (among other things) a gay porno house named in his honor.

Steven Sondheim is the living embodiment for music theatre in the last half of the 20th Century.
I have no idea how anyone could object to a theatre being named for him.

Shifting ground...
It's just begun.
Edges are blurring
All around,
And yesterday is done.

Posted: 3/23/10 at 7:14pmAre there any other living people with a theater named after them other than him and Neil Simon?

No Dear, I'm not taking anything away from the man. Of course it's deserved, the point is that fans had to pay to make it happen instead of the theaters owners who should be honoring the people that put asses in their establishments. Just like The Majestic should be The Andrew Lloyd Webber for his accomplishments.

amoni2, Stars on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame are paid for too. However, that doesn't make it any less deserving to whomever is getting one.
