...music (lushly orchestrated with Brown himself on piano) is the least arid and most accessible of the scores turned out by his generation of Sondheim disciples. This is smart, lyric-driven music that doesn't abandon melody or variety. One number rocks; another harks back to '30s Tin Pan Alley. And a wistful, turn-of-the-century-style waltz sends you out of the theater with a lovely, warmhearted souvenir. Most of the souvenirs at The Producers cost 20 bucks...

If Taylor fails to reach the qualifying standard, Johnson—whose personal best is well beyond the qualifying standard—will take her spot.

His finest album may be 1996's Bug Music, a thrilling exploration of the jumpy, angular and surprisingly substantive music written for, among other things, 1940s cartoons. On his most recent disc, last year's A Fine Line, he brought together works by Stephen Sondheim, Ornette Coleman, Roy Orbison, Stevie Wonder and Giacomo Puccini.
