Stephen Sondheim is known as a legendary composer and lyricist of Broadway musicals, but what you may not know is that he was an avid puzzle maker. And sometimes his fondness for puzzle making made its way into his music as well. This video explores one example of this phenomenon that occurs in INTO THE WOODS, perhaps Sondheim’s most well-known musical that has been revived many times and even adapted into a Disney movie.
