Stephen Sondheim Accepts His First Two Tonys for Company 

"It's even nicer to win two. Thank you." Best speech ever.

"It's even nicer to win two." I love you Sondheim!

as if I wasn't already in love with Sondheim, he had to go and be humble and credit his orchestrator and conductor, and then be all cute about winning his first award...oh yes, and Carole Channing. Enough said. Thank you for posting this!!!

Oh i LOVE him !! He's just like his musicals: deep and true without being heavy.

Thanks so much for uploading this... and thanks to Stephen Sondheim for being one of few people who actually make good (and relatively short) acceptance speeches. :D

That is how you win an award like a boss.

Thank you for putting this up! I adore Sondheim and I've been wanting to hear his acceptance speeches (since many of them are before my time). Love it!

Oh man, right when he came out for the Lyricist award, I thought "I know what I'd say - winning 2 is even better!" And then, with different wording, he says just that. I just watched that Today Show interview with Sondheim where they said he is working on two new pieces presently. I sure hope he finishes them and they get on Broadway! Give us more to see, Steve. :)

his second "speech" just made my life :] sondheim is love

That's our boy! Go get 'em Stephy!

@ng1493 she's not playing to the cameras, she's playing to the house, which includes a balcony

I love his pose at first in the nominations.

They did release it. It's on DVD and Amazon Instant.

gosh i love him

Did television in 1971 really look like a watercolor?

He is God Simply put.

Do you have the video of "There is Nothing Like a Dame" from the 1971 Tony Awards show? I sure would love to see it. Thanks.

HOLY CRAP, HE'S SO FRIGGIN' HOT!!!!

Oh carol... :)

Is there a bird in the rafters, Carol?
