Because that other one left out WAY too many formative musicals (at least for anyone older than, like, 20). I'm definitely still leaving out a lot but I made an effort to cover a wider range of musical history.

The fact that 2 revived Sondheim shows got so many Tony nominations this year while Andrew Lloyd Webber got zero just proves that even in death, Stephen Sondheim does it better.
Sondheim is just simply that guy.

The other night I had some free time and so I went on the IBDB (Internet Broadway Database) and calculated the following statistics:
There have been 41 productions of Stephen Sondheim musicals on Broadway, 25 productions of Rodgers & Hammerstein musicals, and 20 productions of Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals.
However, there have only been 13,860 performances of Sondheim shows compared to 15,656 performances for R&H and 30,328 performances of ALW shows, with 13,981 being from The Phantom of the Opera alone.
On average, Sondheim musicals have ran for 338 performances on Broadway, R&H musicals last 626 performances on average, and ALW musicals last 1516 performances on average, but if you remove Phantom then ALW's performance average lowers to 860.
ALW and R&H both have had 4 productions run 1,000+ performances, while Sondheim has had 0. By contrast, Sondheim has had 7 productions run less than 100 performances, while ALW has 3 and R&H 1.
ALW's longest running show is Phantom, Sondheim's is the OG production of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (964 performances), and R&H's is the OG Oklahoma! (2,212).
ALW's shortest running show is By Jeeves (73), Sondheim's is Anyone Can Whistle (9), and R&H's is the 1949 revival of Carousel (32).
The following disclaimers:
I did not count revues or the short New York City Center productions from the 60s that are listed on IBDB. I counted shows where Sondheim only wrote the lyrics (such as West Side Story), but I did not count shows where he only wrote additional music or lyrics (such as Candide). I only counted shows that Rodgers and Hammerstein did together, and not those that either of them worked on individually.

If your favorite musical already has a proshot, just mark the one that is the case for that particular proshot! If it's available for free, mark the maximum you'd be willing to pay for it if it wasn't. ❤️

Just remembered that weirdly bitter obituary of Sondheim that the Guardian published. Like seriously, wtf was this?

My interview with Hans Peter Janssens is now available to watch.
Hans Peter Janssens is known as a classic European Phantom, both in the Netherlands and Belgium, in The Phantom of the Opera and for being the only actor to play the roles of Jean Valjean and Javert in Les Miserables on the West End.
He also starred in rare Dutch language versions of Jekyll and Hyde, Sweeney Todd and Tanz der Vampire, Follies Man of La Mancha, Evita and more.

can I be stupid for a moment
ok so we all just saw the new of Andrew Lloyd Webber announcing he’s made a new musical, and here I was thinking that Andrew Lloyd Webber died in the 1960s, like it feels like this guy should be older y’know? And Sondheim died in 2021 but I thought that bitch would’ve been kicking around in the mid-late 1800s, there’s no real point to this post other than I always thought musicals and their creators were so much older than they really are.
