Stephen Sondheim will be honored with a Special Award at the 2011 Olivier Awards on March 11 in London. The 80-year-old composer and lyricist first made a name for himself writing the lyrics for West Side Story. Since then, he’s produced numerous award-winning productions, including Sweeney Todd, Into the Woods, and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. The recipient of several Tony Awards, Sondheim also earned a Pulitzer Prize for Sunday in the Park With George in 1985 and an Academy Award for the song, “Sooner or Later,” from the film, Dick Tracy.

Catherine Zeta-Jones chats with EW about starring in Broadway’s ‘A Little Night Music’
Awesome! So deserving.
Amen, K. He deserves it all!
Most overrated person in the biz. A complete bore.
If Gypsy, West Side Story, Sweeney Todd, Company, Into The Woods, Assassins, an awesome little move called the Last of Shiela are boring, I don’t want to know what’s fun.
He’s the best! I saw him on his lecture tour for his 80th birthday–very entertaining. His are my absolute favorite musicals.
So wonderful to continue to honor this man while he’s still with us. “Someone in a Tree” from Pacific Overtures and the “Soon” trio in A Little Night Music are my personal favorites of his.
