| Per IBDB, there have been six instances since 1960. Some barely qualify - shows that he wrote incidental music for, revues that featured his songs, etc. - but I'll leave it up to you, dear reader, to decide which shows to cut from this list, if any. As for your other query - "At a time when there are no Andrew Lloyd Webber shows running" - you'll have to go back to 1964 for that, as Jesus Christ Superstar overlapped with the runs of Company and Follies. West Side Story (Mar 19, 2009 - Jan 02, 2011) A Little Night Music (Dec 13, 2009 - Jan 09, 2011) Sondheim on Sondheim (Apr 22, 2010 - Jun 27, 2010) Overlapped for the run of Sondheim on Sondheim ===== Jerome Robbins' Broadway* (Feb 26, 1989 - Sep 01, 1990) Sweeney Todd (Sep 14, 1989 - Feb 25, 1990) Gypsy (Nov 16, 1989 - Jul 28, 1991) Overlapped Nov 16, 1989 - Feb 25, 1990 *Featuring songs written or co-written by Stephen Sondheim ====== Follies (Apr 04, 1971 - Jul 01, 1972) Twigs* (Nov 14, 1971 - Jul 23, 1972) A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (Mar 30, 1972 - Aug 12, 1972) Overlapped Mar 30, 1972 - Jul 01, 1972 *Incidental music by Stephen Sondheim ===== Company (Apr 26, 1970 - Jan 01, 1972) Follies (Apr 04, 1971 - Jul 01, 1972) Twigs* (Nov 14, 1971 - Jul 23, 1972) Overlapped Nov 14, 1971 - Jan 01, 1972 *Incidental music by Stephen Sondheim ====== A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (May 08, 1962 - Aug 29, 1964) Anyone Can Whistle (Apr 04, 1964 - Apr 11, 1964) West Side Story (Apr 08, 1964 - May 03, 1964) Overlapped Apr 08, 1964 - Apr 11, 1964 ===== Gypsy (May 21, 1959 - Mar 25, 1961) West Side Story (Apr 27, 1960 - Dec 10, 1960) Invitation to a March* (Oct 29, 1960 - Feb 04, 1961) Overlapped Oct 29, 1960 - Dec 10, 1960 *Incidental music by Stephen Sondheim ===== |
