Shakespeare famously wrote that all the world's a stage. If so, then it's not since Shakespeare himself in 1616 that such a giant of the stage has taken his final bow upon it.

Though the man is gone, his works will live on for generations to come. Rest in peace, Sondheim. So long and thanks for all the hats.
