Stephen Sondheim, the songwriter who reshaped the American musical theatre in the second half of the 20th century with his intelligent, intricately rhymed lyrics, his use of evocative melodies and his willingness to tackle unusual subjects, has died. He was 91.
Sondheim's death was announced by his Texas-based attorney, Rick Pappas, who told The New York Times the composer died on Nov 26 at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut. Pappas did not return calls and messages to The Associated Press.
