Interesting Chron article on the aging Sondheim
Steven Winn takes a look at what Sondheim has been up to in his "golden" years, and decided...not much.
Interesting, particularly, that it is obvious that if Sondheim and his genius came along today, he'd probably never make it to Broadway at all.
It's sad to imagine we'll have no more great works out of Sondheim. And I know Jay thinks that the the heavy weight of our expectations for any Sondheim work doesn't help much.
Anyway, if you're a Sondheim fan (an really, who isn't) check it out.
