News of Sondheim's current project
Sondheim will turn 80 next year - a birthday tribute is planned at the Ravinia Festival near Chicago - but the composer isn’t idle. He’s working on a two-volume annotated edition of his complete lyrics, the first of which, “Finishing the Hat: Volume One,” is due for publication in late 2010. (source)
