I'm glad to see these. Sondheim's reputation among cryptic-crossword aficionados is legion.

If you like this sort of thing, then you should subscribe to Harper's, and get a crossword much like this every month, created by Richard Maltby, Jr. (There's also the online puzzle in The Atlantic, but it's from Emily Cox and Henry Rathvon, so it lacks that Broadway connection.)

These were collected in a book that Harper & Row published back in the 70s. A pristine copy is worth hundreds of dollars to puzzle aficionados.

Can't see to download them, they're not coming through clear at all. Anyone else having a problem?

I'll put in on record I offically suck at crossword puzzles, not just the cryptic ones but also the lame entertainment-centric ones you get in the TV Guides and Soapie Magazines.

Still this is facinating (yet I of course will still not get 'em).

Is the typo in the original?
