Hi there, grateful for help! I once came across this brilliant video where Jason Robert Brown awards Stephen Sondheim a local community theatre award of some sort. But before he does, JRB deconstructs I think one of Sondheim’s songs and makes clear all the fantastic things that are going on within a song that the layman probably doesn’t even notice. I watched it so long ago I can’t remember the exact details now, but I remember Sondheim welling up a little bit during it. I’ve tried to find the video on YouTube since but have struggled to. Does anyone else know of this video and would be able to share the link? That would be hugely appreciated, thank you in advance!

It sounds like you're thinking of this video. It's unlisted on Youtube, which explains why you can't find it - I have it bookmarked for this very purpose. Enjoy!

Thank you for posting that 

Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist. Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino. This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more. Tazber's: Reply to Is Stephen Schwartz a Practicing Christian

Wow, how'd you like to be the accompanist while Jason Robert Brown is turning the pages for you?  Talk about pressure...

Nothing to relink.  The person who originally posted the video has since made it private.  I’m sure within the last few hours his old post got slammed with views and he has chosen to not make it viewable by the public anymore.
