I’m being snarky for a second only cause I really adored this and it just gave me such a smile throughout and I LOVED that we had not the typical “We have to do West Side songs and Gypsy” thing. This was a Sondheimy Sondheim music concert
But my snarkiness is...Jake is richer than ALLLLLL of them (maybe not Meryl) and THAT’S his video quality? Haha
But wow really wonderful. Ladies Who Lunch was iconic and everything.
To whoever said Meryl Sharp,
Shut up.

It’s not about how much money they have. Blame Apple for NEVER updating macbook’s ugly and Neanderthal camera.

They really need to polish/clean this up a bit and release it to raise funds.
I mean there is only one composer to negotiate with.

Give it to a business with a more competent video / media team, like Playbill.

How do you do a Sondheim tribute without "Not A Day Goes By"?

Absolutely lovely and perfect.

I didn’t miss it. It’s been done a gazillion times. I was far more glad to see things like “Someone in a Tree” or a cut song like “Flag Song.” Sondheim wrote hundreds of worthwhile songs, and sometimes these tributes feel like they’re honoring the same dozen.

There were many favorites missing ("Losing My Mind" for one... ), but what was there, was pretty great.

Signature Theater outside of DC had a female Reciter.

Did it not bother anyone else that she changed the lyrics from her/she to him/he?
Just pick a different song if you can’t sing the actual words. This is to honor him. Sing his words.

Also yeah, “Flag Song” is trippy! Really interesting one to analyze lyrically. Even though they wouldn’t I could see a production putting that back in.
Assassins is so chilling any time I hear anything from it, there is even more eerieness and disturbing quality than anything in Sweeney Todd

I found it to be a perfect evening and I don't think anything needed to be changed or "polished" up.
I have been watching a lot of live streaming these past weeks and this was one of, if not, the best I have seen. JMO

That was heaven. With that said, I want this to be a bookmark for the Sondheim 90th we deserve: Carnegie Hall, 2020/21, all the artists we saw tonight and more, and the chorus men and women of shows performing throughout the City singing “Sunday.”

Fun fact: the same exact melody of "Flag Song" is used for "It's In Your Hands Now" in Road Show.
Some personal highlights for me:
Katrina Lenk completely in her element with a gorgeous rendition of "Joanna."
Raul's powerful "Take Me to the World"
"Someone in a Tree"
Donna's gorgeous "Clowns"
Of course, "Ladies"
Jake/Annaleigh
Patti and Bernadette both doing quiet and poignant numbers.
"Im Still Here."

The earliest form of Kabuki was created by a woman to be performed by women who played both the male and female roles. They also 'performed' as prostitutes, which added to the popularity of the art form.

She's Bernadette's longtime assistant.
