MusicMan, That comment is not only mean-spirited and unneccesary, it's ill-informed and quite frankly Bullcrap. Unless, that is you are trying to stir up trouble, or joking. I can't imagine anyone who has even a small amount of musical expertise saying something like that. It's rather foolish. So I'm assuming you're doing this on purpose and I'll stop now.

Oh, I assure you he means every word of it. I'm kind of wondering if he's going to answer the actually question asked by this thread, or at least write down positive thoughts about it.

Obviously, it's Stephen Sondheim... but I'd really like to say William Finn. Yes, I know he hasn't had endless Broadway hits, but he's SO SO SO brilliant.

Andrew Lloyd Webber all the way. Just a thought. Who wrote the last 5 years?
How can they see with sequins in their eyes?

Sondheim, no question.

Well, I've read through the thread twice, and I haven't seen my favorite. So, I'm thrilled to be the only schmuck who appreciates Frederick Loewe.

omg! I COMPLETELY forgot about Loewe! Thanks for the reminder. He replaces Kander/ Bock in my top five. Camelot and My Fair Lady...ah.

Webber and Sondheim. I like Rodger and Hammerstein, but for some reason I always fall asleep when I hear extend play of their music. It's like, "Oh, I love this song ...zzzzzzzzzzzz."
