It was indeed magical, Jose'. The most sophisticated thing this 15-year-old had ever seen: the Boris Aronson birch trees, the Patricia Birch musical staging, the Florence Klotz costumes...and those performances!
I used to love saying to my friends, enigmatically, "How can you slip and trip into a hip bath?" or "You acquiesced, and the rest is a blank" or "Say that I settle on B, to wit, / A charmingly lecherous mood, / A, I could put on my nightshirt or sit / Disarmingly, B, in the nude."
It was magical but my teenage friends thought I was a freak. And I was! A Sondheim freak!
Were you too, Jose'?
