First the great news - Sondheim's been vaccinated. (I suppose this isn't a surprise, but it was still great to hear).
Second - the video, loved the whole program:

Such great news about him being vaccinated. I cannot wait to see this when they bring it back later this year off Broadway.

Lovely. Is it me or was Sondheim a little crankier than usual? haha. Clearly not a fan of certain art critic tropes 'more relevant than ever' or tenuous interpretations of the meaning and implication of his work.
Also, I found it interesting that he appears to not like the dual role setup of Balladeer & Lee Harvey Oswald. I can't help but wonder why it keeps happening if he doesn't like it - even John Weidman though not quite as strong didn't exactly suggest he was a fan of it, describing the characters as different and some of the concerns of it in terms of creating meaning where there is none (although he acknowledges it helps bridge the show together).

I loved watching this, made me so happy to see the old cast members joking around with each other.

Posted: 3/19/21 at 6:37amI was at the opening at Playwrights Horizons- Super Bowl Sunday and very cold. When Shirley Jones showed up, I couldn't help staring. When she reacted quizzically, I apologized, noting that I was just watching OKLAHOMA! that very afternoon on television. She got it. After the show, it was endearing to watch Steve Sondheim practically fawning over her.
