nypost.com:

It was hard enough when Broadway shut down, says Raúl Esparza, but letting Stephen Sondheim’s 90th birthday pass without a celebration?

Impossible. And so, while quarantining in his Chelsea apartment, he and friends hit on the answer: a virtual bash, “Take Me to the World: A Sondheim 90th Birthday Celebration.” Starting at 8 p.m.

Sunday, the 50th anniversary of the opening of the composer’s “Company” — a revival of which is awaiting Broadway’s own revival — it airs for free at Broadway.com and the Broadway.com YouTube channel.

What started with 10 performers, Esparza tells The Post, quickly grew to more than two dozen, including Patti LuPone, Mandy Patinkin, Audra McDonald, Kelli O’Hara and Meryl Streep.
