If they're providing you with an accompanist, then... y'know, it's *drama* school.... For training musical theatre professionals of the future. I'd be disappointed if they couldn't cope with Sondheim.
If it is a good Drama School/Musical Theatre Course, then there would be a big gap in their staffing levels if they did not have an accompanist who could play Sondheim.
Please don't believe everything you hear from rumour and conjecture. If you have
any doubts give them a ring and ask advice.
People generally avoid Sondheim because he is considered difficult to sing, but if you are comfortable and can master his work, then sing out.
Make sure that your two songs contrast well in order to show your range and versatility
