NYT Sondheim

A Weekend in the Country With Eros and Thanatos

Trevor Nunn’s revival of “A Little Night Music” may well be a hit, though not because of any artistic finesse.

From the Start, Still a ‘Funny Thing’

The Goodspeed Opera House’s small stage is ideal for the concentrated mayhem required by “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.”.

Show Tunes, Through a Jazz Wringer

This concert found a natural compatibility between the show tunes of Jule Styne and Stephen Sondheim.

A Chance for Some Theatrical Gems to Shine

Worthy productions like “Parlour Song’' and “Saturday Night” can be lost in the maze of theater offerings in London, but shouldn’t be.

Our Gangs

Arthur Laurents has exchanged insolence for innocence in the new revival of “West Side Story,” and, as with most such bargains, there are dividends and losses.

Rubbing Elbows in Song, Britney Spears and Sondheim

The Spears-Sondheim pairing made sense given the concept of Anne Steele’s show “Strings Attached,” which began an encore engagement at the club on Tuesday.

Same City, New Story

Since the Jets and Sharks first rumbled in “West Side Story” more than 50 years ago, New York has changed. So has their musical.

Under Broadway, the Subway Hums Bernstein

On the 2, 4 and 5 lines, the trains’ electronic whine sounds like the beginning of a “West Side Story” song.

‘A Little Night Music,’ a Little Less Staging

The Roundabout Theater hosts a fund-raiser the company is billing as both a concert reading and a gala performance of Stephen Sondheim’s operetta “A Little Night Music.”

Import ’Em, Revive ’Em, Dress ’Em Nice

This was the year of trans-Atlantic theater in New York, when Anglo-American cooperation produced a hearty crop of expertly mounted productions.

Holiday Gifts for Devotees of Broadway

Should there be someone in your life who wishes to pass for Theater-fluent, I propose giving him or her the following Theater Literacy Kit.

Singing a Song of Sondheim, Again

As one of the stars of “Road Show,” Alexander Gemignani continues a theatrical association that is also a family tradition.

Brothers in Flimflammery on a Continental Sojourn

It’s raining greenbacks in “Road Show,” the latest version of Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman’s long-aborning, ever-evolving and eternally slender musical about curdled American dreams.

Metropolitan Diary

Stephen Sondheim recommends a story about a reading of “Sweeney Todd” with a pair of Londoners at Le Pain Quotidien.

Jets? Yes! Sharks? ¡Sí! in Bilingual ‘West Side’

More than 50 years after the musical “West Side Story” had its original Broadway premiere, it is set to return in February in a darker, grittier, bilingual revival.

Profile Information

What Kind of Nerdfighter Are You?

I am a Musical-theatre, Film, Literature, LuPone/Sondheim, Theatre, YouTube, Doctor Who, HARRY POTTER Nerdfighter

About Me:

I am peculiar. I can make nearly any person laugh (or cry, for that matter). I'm really meticulous about speaking and writing correctly (I can't even "txt tlk" without driving myself crazy) and get annoying about it sometimes, but I think I'm okay with that. I tend to use overly dramatic vocabulary. THEATRE IS MY PASSION. I enjoy reading a lot, listening to slightly obscure music, watching films of which no one seems to ever had heard, and singing every showtune ever recorded. I obsess about the things I love. I've read each Harry Potter book over 93 times and have finished the complete works of Shakespeare and Jane Austen (Not just the major novels, I've read everything ). I adore all things UK. I don't really like a lot of company unless I have some sort of audience. I'm a bit lacking in the whole "outwardly expressing emotions" thing except when onstage. I'm madly in love with a man named John Green (...and many others, but oh, you'll know enough about that soon enough).

I'm on Team Patti. Every time.

". . . the second loveliest of all Nerdfighters (Only second to you, of course)" *mentally blushes*

The Jeeves books are unspeakably fantastic, from what I've read so far. Only on the second page I decided that Wodehouse was one of my favourite writers. It's such a refreshing thing to read language so effortlessly and beautifully funny, fine and fluffy, and my enjoyment of it is substantially heightened by my having seen the Fry and Laurie adaptation, for it is they who gambol and jape in my head as I read, which is the most delightful thing.

I'm listening to Dongle now, as it happens. Thank you bellowingly for the kind offer, anyway. :]

Oh, I'm SO VERY excited about HP6, too. It's by far my favourite book in the series, and I'm hoping (and it seems) that the film version will be the best one yet. I do hope that John Williams returns for HP7, though. I can't be doing with this Nicholas Hooper.

"We must discuss this further in a more efficient way. GTalk, perhaps?" I've never tried it, but I'm sure it will work efficiently enough. The trouble is catching one another online, of course. Suggest a time and date suitable for you: I'm sure it will be so for me, too.

I adore that episode of QI. I said at the time that it was undoubtedly the greatest one yet.

♥ with an extra pint of ♥ for the weekend,

The second loveliest of all nerdfighters (second to you, of course).

P.S. Which is your favourite Greek or Roman myth? I'm becoming progressively obsessed with Greek myth (as you are aware), and would be fascinated to know. :]

P.P.S. I shall leave you with this clip from the latest episode of Kingdom.

Or rather: an excellent decision. :] I certainly have missed both the marvellous platform as which it has served, and the singular way in which it allowed us to communicate. I shall put more than sufficient effort into reviving and sustaining it. Any suggestions as to the format? You suggested that we rethink it. I must say, I am fond of the question and answer system that we employed, but there's always room for change and/or replacement.

I'm very excited about this. :D

P.S. I shall leave you with this thing of beauty.

At 6:15pm on June 6, 2009, Adam J. M. Eagleton said…: Reese! How fare thee, dear filos? Tremulous apologies for not writing sooner: I have grown substantially bored and annoyed with Facebook.

"Have you made any special plans?" We went to a restaurant and saw Night at the Museum 2: This Time It's Even More Cheesy Than The First Film at the cinema. I also saw Angels & Demons when my father came down a few days before my birthday. It wasn't as good as The Da Vinci Code (and that's really saying something). But I did receive the complete Wodehouse Jeeves collection from him (*insert thigh-suckingly extravagant dance of glee*), so I have that to add unbridled pleasure to my life until its inevitable cessation.

Don't worry too much about what Stephen says regarding pronunciation, Reese. He's absolutely correct, but it really only applies to Queen's English-speaking people, and may seem somewhat incongruous for you. Americans have, in some areas, wildly different pronunciations to us Brits, and that's a wonderful thing. Pronunciations like "mo-men-TA-ri-ly" are accepted in America, but frowned upon over here (we use "MO-mun-tra-ly").

I really need to get around to listening to Dongle. It's the first piece of fiction he's published in about nine years, I believe.

I haven't seen A Handful of Dust, no, but have heard of the book. Is the film good?

By the way, just in case you don't know, David Tennant's going to be on the Christmas QI. I'm concerned that my television may explode with the unprecedented brilliance being displayed upon it.

But yeah, I love it because there are actually awesome people on here [such as yourself.]

I was just breezing through yo' music and "Lady Madonna" brought interesting memories back. I had to play it at my first bass recital. XD

At 4:52pm on February 16, 2009, Mia The Tetanic Wonder said…: Hell yeah. I love that girl! [I'm lucky I get to know her in real life. We get into some shenanigans.]

Anyways, I frackin love this place...and good grammar!
