Stephen Sondheim, the Broadway legend who died in November, has reportedly left his $75 million estate to his husband, friends and multiple charities, according to court papers.
The 'West Side Story' songwriter left the contents of his estate, including the rights to his music and literary works, personal effects and finances, which will go into the Stephen J Sondheim Revocable Trust, his will states.
Sondheim designated 20 people and charities as beneficiaries to his trust, including his husband Jeffrey Romley, his 'Into the Woods' collaborator and director James Lapine, and fellow playwright Peter Jones, with whom Sondheim had a relationship when he was 60, the New York Post reports.
Sondheim also listed the likes of the Smithsonian Institute, the Museum of New York City, the Library of Congress, the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, the Dramatists Guild Fund and the Irish Repertory Theater Company as beneficiaries to his estate.
