译林版（2020）高二英语下学期期中复习 查缺补漏冲刺满分 (名校最新期中真题) 专题08 阅读理解之记叙文10篇 （2022春·江苏南通·高二统考期中）I didn’t show an inclination to watch his Broadway musicals, when Stephen Sondheim died on Nov. 26, 2021, at age 91. Something in me instead wanted to see Al Hirschfeld’s drawings of Sondheim’s shows and characters over the decades. As a boy growing up in the Boston suburbs in the 1970s, Hirschfeld’s images were my first ticket to Broadway, transported by their publication in The Times’s Arts & Leisure section.
