Sondheim had a musical revue (Side by Side by Sondheim) and Jerry Herman had Jerry's Girls.  Has there ever been revues for Kander & Ebb or Cy Coleman?  They have enough of a catalog to make a fine evening of revue.

Sondheim also has Putting It Together. Kander and Ebb has And the World Goes Round. No idea about Cy Coleman

In addition to Side by Side by Sondheim, there are also: You're Gonna Love Tomorrow (presented in concert as A Stephen Sondheim Evening), Putting It Together and Sondheim on Sondheim are all revues of his work. Marry Me a Little used songs written by Sondheim previously unheard on the professional stage to tell a romance.
