Stephen Sondheim

Stephen Joshua Sondheim ( ; 22 Mac 193026 November 2021) ialah seorang komposer, penulis lagu dan penulis lirik Amerika. Salah seorang tokoh terpenting dalam teater muzikal abad kedua puluh, Sondheim telah dikreditkan kerana telah "mencipta semula muzikal Amerika" dengan karya yang berkisarkan "tema yang tidak dijangka yang berkisar jauh di luar subjek tradisional [genre]" dengan "muzik dan lirik dengan kerumitan dan kecanggihan yang belum pernah terjadi sebelumnya". Rancangannya menyentuh "elemen pengalaman manusia yang lebih gelap, lebih mengerikan", dengan lagu-lagu yang sering diwarnai dengan "ambivalensi" tentang pelbagai aspek kehidupan.
