Best Answer

Hammerstein's son jimmy went to school with Sondheim. they became friends and when Sondheim met jimmy's father, they connected. Sondheim didn't know his own father and held his mother in contempt (the feeling was mutual) so the Hammerstein's became like his adoptive family. When Sondheim was a teenager he decided he wanted to go into Oscar Hammerstein's line of work and from then on was mentored in the art of composing and writing lyrics and all other things theatre by Hammerstein.
