Check Amazon. In the US, it's already up in their mp3 section, not sure about other countries.

Sondheim means SO MUCH to me – to so many of us – that I could just gush about how perfect everything the man ever did was for hours. I’ll always consider the times I saw Sondheim in conversation some of the highlights of my life. His musicals have, through various points in my life, changed it entirely. Seeing Company with Raul Esparaza on a cruddy YouTube link as a teenager was unbearably personal; seeing Company a decade later, older and ‘wiser’, with Rosalie so perfectly embodying Bobbie’s insecurities and society’s pressures, felt unbearably personal all over again in such a different way. It’s not just that Sweeney changed my life; it’s that Sweeney could change my life all over again in ten year’s time. So perfect, so timeless, so multitudinous, so meaningful are his musicals.
However, today of all days, I just want to return to his warmth. The man’s always praised for his wit and wordplay and complexity, but it’s his insight and sincerity and simplicity that has me returning to him – a feeling I feel listening to “Move On”, or “Our Time”, or the ending of The Frogs, or “The Miller’s Son”. I can think of no better words for today than this infinity in a grain of sand – this song, from Into The Woods. It’s gotten me through dark times. It’s gotten my through my first week of isolation this week. It will get me though until I’m 90 myself. For being so truthful, humane and empathetic, I owe so much to Sondheim – we all owe so much to Sondheim. If I could, I’d thank the man for all those beautiful messages. This one’s speaking to me so profoundly at this point in time.
Hard to see the light now Just don’t let it go Things will turn out right now We can make it so Someone is on your side No-one is alone
(P.S. On a similarly emotional note, Sondheim Disco Boogie is on Amazon, but also broadwayrecords if you want to support them directly and nob off Jeff Bezos - www.broadwayrecords.com/shop/losing-my-mind-a-sondheim-disco-fever-dream-mp3. $12.99 well spent…)

 Sondheim wrote a reply to the New York Times articles, which for him were a bit dismissive on George Furth. |

One of the many things I appreciate about Sondheim is how well he defends book authors for his shows, always trying to make sure they are credited appropriately.

I'm pretty sure this is going to be my favourite online show so far by a mile and so glad it's going to be available to view after initial broadcast as there is no way I could stay up during the night to watch it.

It's been quite the clusterf**k so far with starting 30 minutes late and now on a tech hold after no sound from Esparza following the opening number.

Once they went to performances (which are all taped) it's been fine and some of the performances have just been outstanding.

I was tempted to start listing my highlights but there really were SO many it would be redundant. I REALLY needed this after sitting though the melodrama of Love Never Dies last night. An embarrassment of riches all round. |
