How Sondheim Can Change Your Life makes the case that Sondheim's greatness--beyond the clever lyrics and adventurous music--rests in his ability to tell stories that relate to us all. From Louise's desire for freedom as Gypsy Rose Lee to Sweeney Todd's thirst for revenge, we as an audience relate easily to Sondheim's characters. His works understand us as much as we understand them. 20241211. Sondheim, Stephen Criticism and interpretation. Sondheim, Stephen Appreciation.
