    "No More" from Into the Woods. I was livid when they cut it from the movie.
  • @trinaq
    Rest in peace, Stephen Sondheim, he really was a lyrical and musical genius. "No One is Alone" is one of my personal favourite tunes of his, I'm delighted that it made the Honourable Mentions.
  • If you're a true Sondheim fan, then there are NO under appreciated songs!
  • @elisarosario975
    Thank you for giving “Kiss Me” its credit where credit is due. Most people think that song isn’t as memorable as the others in Sweeney Todd, but personally, I think it’s perfect.
  • @SteenAZ
    Fantastic list. Thanks for calling out Every Day a Little Death. That song kills me every time.
  • @gracehowell.
    The beauty is that Sondheim's work is so diverse that there's something for everyone.
  • @meganjeffrey6207
    If you can find them, I absolutely recommend tracking down the "Putting it Together" revue or Sondheim's 80th Birthday Concert... both are fantastic collections of his deep and wonderful repertoire performed by stunning singers
  • @Molson-xg9hs
    Sondheim’s my forever favorite Broadway composer…entirely clever, often emotional, always brilliant. Enjoyed this list and some great choices to seek out.
  • @battlegirldeb
    I first heard "Unworthy of Your Love" in the musical revue "Putting it Together". It came out on my birthday in 2001. A year later I finally hear the song in context with "Assassins" and could not believe how weird it felt now I knew the song was about a man crazy enough to shoot someone to get attention.

    Everyday a little death is my favorite on this list. ❤

    Loving you- Passion Don't Laugh- Hot Spot More- Dick Tracy Goodbye for Now- Reds With So Little to Be Sure Of- Anyone Can Whistle
  • @Kristine_202
    Who is under-appreciating "No One is Alone?" It's literally one of Sondeim's best songs.
  • @pauljensen8375
    "Anyone Can Whistle" -one of my favorites (and one of Sondheim's also I believe)
  • Of course i agree with these pics. Have a happy saturday morning, Emily. Take care and God bless you, greetings from Colombia to you as well.
  • @JukeboxBalowski
    "Send in the Clowns" by Frank Sinatra is one of Sondheim's songs. There are a couple different versions that Sinatra did, but the one with just a piano background is the best. It's so sad but so good.
  • @bookemdano7567
    Underrated… I’d say “What Can You Lose” from the film Dick Tracy. Beautiful, heartbreaking song. “More” is a fun filled song also!
