Company!! Sunday in the Park is not a good first listen. Granted, I love the show, but it takes a while to get it.

And Broadwaynoitall-- you're not such a Know-it-all. I haven't met one musical theater lover and/or major at a university who doesn't at least appreciate Sondheim.

Cuz hip hop and ballet have anything in common except that they're dancing? Knowing Sondheim would help anyone with auditioning for a musical, though it's true many auditions frown on using his music (I had a hard time when live Alone and Like It--an easy tune I thought--was my audition piece, and no audition pianists could play it....) It's more akin to knowing Petipa's ballets and auditioning for Giselle... You still gain so much from the knowledge.

The NYC concert version of Follies.
