For the 6th of our series of collages we turn to the reigning god of the American musical theater, Stephen Sondheim.

Fairly early in his prodigious career Stephen Sondheim was lauded as the finest lyricist in English since Gilbert.

Then, he started writing the music, too, and there followed a string of Broadway's legendary shows: Company, Follies, A Little Night Music, Sweeney Todd, Into the Woods, Passion.

Our quote is from his Pulitzer Prize winning musical, Sunday in the Park with George. We’ve picked a couple of snippets of lyrics where the master talks about the creative process.
