pickLike so much of Sondheim‘s work - it only grows truer & more ubiquitous with time. It‘s shocking, really.
The fact that this show debuted after his arguably most commercially accessible musical (my fave - Into the Woods) shows the range this man offered us.
Maybe this libretto is a weird choice to crack into this weekend but its subject matter feels more relatable than ever in this divided nation mindset. 🤷🏻♀️
Now I need to look up clips from the original off-Bway cast bc Terry Mann? Victor Garber? Annie Golden? Phew.
Not a lot of reading today because I was seeing a matinee of The Lion King. It‘s been years since I‘d seen the show and the production was just as impressive as the first time. I love the way it uses puppetry to tell the story.
I couldn't choose just three, so I didn't. 😋
Here are four of my favorite musicals:
1. Annie (1982)
2. Little Shop of Horrors (1986)
3. Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)
4. Hamilton (2015)

I was in this show and it was beautiful, I think it‘s a better take than the traditional movie
At this time of year #bells always immediately brings to mind the original ‘96 broadways cast of Rent, which is still the best show I‘ve ever seen. #DecemberDreams @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Good game, @Eggs thanks for this one!
1. As a child there were actually two books: The Secret Garden, & The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe. I couldn‘t choose between them if I tried!
2. When I turned 7, My dad & I starting taking walkabouts around towns we‘d visit, usually towns he had lived in. Ones that have special meaning to him. I learn so much about his life from those walks.
3. Oct. 7th crawling through an archeological site in Eqypt.
