He's probably best-known for 'West Side Story' but I think the song 'Send In The Clowns' is an absolute masterpiece and will probably be the one that lives on the longest

From The Guardian today:

Imelda Staunton, who starred in productions including Gypsy and Follies, called Sondheim “the Shakespeare of the musical world”. She said: “His stories will live as long as Shakespeare’s because he speaks about people, about emotional difficulties, about the need we all have for love or recognition and to be noticed. A lot of musicals are about happy things – but his musicals are about the difficult things.”

RIP
