I encourage others to add more people, as I will do the same in reblogs as there were so many more people I wanted to add. And those in the public eye that we lost don’t even hold a candle to the large amount of brothers, sisters, friends, that were lost due to AIDS.

West Side Story

Stephen Sondheim, who wrote the lyrics to West Side Story, Gypsy, and Do I Hear a Waltz, died Friday at his country home in Connecticut. He was the greatest musical theater composer of his time.
