Sondheim Speaks on Worthy Theatre Topic#1

"Stephen Sondheim has suggested the “financially fragile” nature of commercial theatre is restricting the variety of musicals that get produced.

Acknowledging that it is “hard” for producers to raise the funds necessary to stage a musical, he then suggested that “giving young people a hearing” would counter a lack of variety in musical theatre.

He explained: “It’s the same thing with all art forms, which is: young people need means of getting their work heard, or paintings on the wall, or shows on the stage."

"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."
