definitely thinking of heading to NYC in 2022 for the gender-swapped version with Katrina Lenk - she was marvelous in The Band's Visit
― Feta Van Cheese (Neanderthal)
I saw this last night. Will maybe write a longer post about it soon but Katrina Lenk was indeed magnificent and her interpretation of 'Being Alive' had me weeping uncontrollably. The gender reversals mostly felt pretty seamless during the show. It wasn't until i got home listened to the original cast recording that i realized how *necessary* it is to present the show this way.
Patti Lupone was great on 'The Little Things' but her 'Ladies who Lunch' wasn't nearly grizzled enough, Elaine Stritch still defines that role for me.

Cool. I just found out about this weird unproduced Sondheim project, a musical version of The Jet-Propelled Couch.

i can't find a better thread to update about this, but the current revival of into the woods is utterly dope

Wrong thread perhaps but did anyone see the version of Follies at the National in London? It played also in UK cinemas as a live broadcast and was streaming supposedly and may well be again (I saw an ad somewhere or other..). Damn I’d really love to see it.

I had the Blu-Ray of the documentary in my hand today, gonna give it another watch this week.

Some of you may know this but there's an incredibly comprehensive (and really quite entertaining) Sondheim podcast called 'Putting It Together', in which they go through *every song* one by one for at least an hour, plus adjacent interviews, it's kinda amazing.
Here is the start of the season they dedicated to Company

Even more belatedly, I now realize the magnificence of "Marry Me a Little."

Sort of crazy how aggressively pro-marriage this show is.

I usually switch it off before his rendition of Being Alive but sometimes I don't and I make it as far as "crowd me with love" where he growls then swallows the 'v' and then I switch it off.
