I’m not trying to be rude lol but it gave me “invented for optics” vibes, when I try to imagine what he described actually taking place. Could be wrong - I am often enough lol. But yeah.

He's had hard times: points, even fairly recently, when he couldn't get shows produced. For years, the big thing on Broadway has been adaptations of movies with scores by pop stars, and none of the money people had time for an elderly legend who insisted upon doing original work. Only the serious theater nuts know who he is, whereas suburban and tourist audiences - which a show absolutely needs to make money - all know popular movies, and will pay the big bucks to see them performed live.

I was privileged to, once, at the Tony Awards the year of "Passion." Sitting with him in the press room when they gave out top award Best Musical (won by Passion..) - he'd seemingly had a few, and as they showed a brief clip from the show on the monitors showing the lovers in a semi-nude scene as the nominees were read out, he cried out "Show the tits! Show the tits!," then added "We need to sell tickets..." -- it was a charming, funny, sweet and adorable side of him not usually seen, and showing a down to earth, relatable side. At least I thought. Thought folks might like knowing this.

The thing about Sondheim is each of his shows is so completely different from all the others, yet each one a masterpiece. In that way, he's like Beethoven, who never repeated himself, each of his works is like a new problem he is trying to solve, the sounds from some different universe he inhabited. And believe me, I don't make that comparison lightly. I share your admiration for Sweeney Todd, though I think it is really "Company" that got the ball rolling and redefined what the American musical could do. And each of the musicals you mention is more than worthy of its success, with West Side Story being in a class of its own.

I've been commenting all over this video about that production. Imagine how Colbert felt being cast in it.

With James Corden having played the Baker in the movie version of *Into the Woods,* that makes two current tv talk show hosts who are Sondheim alumni.

The opening of "Company" as it adds voice after voice to the mix and then blossoms into the actual number is one of the most thrilling openings in musical theater. I hope you get your chance to perform it! The new version, which I've only heard from the London cast recording, switches the gender of the main character to female, and it's so cool that Sondheim authorized that. It works brilliantly.

Stephen Sondheim and John Williams. Each year with them in our world is a blessing. My ears are lucky to have grown up filled with their music.

John Williams has some interesting musical theatre roots that intersect, if only briefly, with Sondheim. He was married to Barbara Ruick, who played Carrie in the movie version of Rodgers & Hammerstein's *Carousel.* He was the soundtrack pianist for the original 1961 movie version of Bernstein & Sondheim's *West Side Story.* Early in his career, he orchestrated and conducted three big-screen musicals: Leslie Bricusse's *Goodbye, Mr. Chips* (1969), Bock & Harnick's *Fiddler on the Roof* (1971), for which he won his first Academy Award, and the Sherman Brothers' *Tom Sawyer* (1973). He even wrote a stage musical, *Thomas and the King* (1975), which was intended for Broadway, but only played London briefly (it does have a cast album, though).
