'Angela Lansbury's first appearance on the musical stage was in a show called 'Anyone Can Whistle,' for which I wrote the score. That appearance was a gift to the musical theater, although perhaps not such a gift to her, since the show only ran for nine performances,' Sondheim said in a statement, referring to his 1964 musical. 'I am thrilled that Signature Theatre is helping me make it up to her by giving her the first Stephen Sondheim Award.'

Composer and conductor HK Gruber led a performance that included a U.S. premiere, kazoos and paper-bag popping.
