Don't mind me, just weeping in spite of myself. Sondheim, you mad bastard; thank you. #SeeMoreTheatre

Ruthiella What‘s your favorite Sondheim? I‘ve not seen/heard them all, but I think Company is my No. 1. 2y
Andrea313 @Ruthiella Such a hard question! My favorite is probably Assassins, followed VERY closely by Sunday. But Into the Woods and Sweeney are also high on the list; it honestly feels impossible to choose! 2y
Ruthiella It‘s a totally unfair question! 😂 Assassins is maybe my second favorite and I‘ve never heard or seen Sunday in the Park with George…but I think I‘d start with Mandy Patinkin and Bernadette Peters. 2y

Into the Woods is my favorite of Sondheim‘s musicals - for the dark humor, clever word play, and familiar stories. So many lines are so profoundly perfect in structure. This book adaptation has the bulk of the musical written out, including many of the operatic songs with Grimm-esque illustrations. But the best version remains to be the original Broadway cast from the late 80‘s. Highly recommend.

Mehso-so

The art lured me in, and did not disappoint. I was, however, upset with the story. It had way too much of the classic "Woman in the Refrigerator" going on.
