On Wednesday (22 March 2017), two of our greatest living musical theatre composers, Andrew Lloyd Webber (69) and Stephen Sondheim (87) both had birthdays. Fellow multi award-winning composer and #StageFave Lin-Manuel Miranda celebrated by throwing a party on Twitter and causing a viral sensation. We invite you to the #SondWebParty here!
(Lin-Manuel and Andrew Lloyd Webber have also joined up for #RedNoseDay today as part of Comic Relief's Stephen Hawkings video - watch that here!)
First some of Lin-Manuel's own tweets that got the party started...
Happy birthday, Sondheim.

His followers and fellow musical theatre lovers then took over. Lin-Manuel himself was clearly a little blown away by the response...
