...you're friends with Stephen Sondheim on MySpace.

I mean...it's definitely him, right? It seems he's kept up with the times. I'm sure when he's taking a break from working on his revivals/new songs he LOVES to leave comments on his friends' pages.

I particularly love his RENT rant.

I seriously doubt that is Sondheim.

why would he say that about RENT? He knew Jonathan Larson. For him to say things about his musical, I can't see him doing that.

I seriously doubt that is Sondheim.

So do I...that's the point.

It's things like this that make me want to stay as far away from MySpace as possible.

There's a whole bunch of fake Sondheims on MySpace. Here's another one:

"Hello all. I am Stephen Sondheim, and I'm a musical theater lyricist and composer, the greatest one you will ever hear"

I'm sure he'd say that.

Apparently Natalie Wood came back from the dead to make one, too.

I love the "Regret" blog. Please, like he would ever be *that* hung up on it- then ask random people on the internet to help him critique it.

And the Rent rant is just petty and immature, I highly doubt Sondheim would ever stoop to that level.

Nice of the person writing that to pay attention to detail, such as how to spell documentary correctly.

I did a search on Mr. Sondheim. Apparently, there's six of them.

"My plays a better than yours!" XD!

You'd also think he could spell the name of one of his heroes, Harold Arlen, correctly...

The only thing that's funny about this is all the people who actually think he's Stephen Sondheim.

[thevolleyballer]

Posted: 2/11/06 at 8:30pm

Oh yes. Between writing music for hit shows, you can definitely find Sondheim looking for some hot girls to hit up on MySpace....

[BroadwayChica]

Posted: 2/11/06 at 8:33pm

LOL, I think it's hilarious.

lol- that's a great faker! I know that a lot of Broadway actors actually do have myspace accounts though and they are authentic such as the following Sweeney cast members:

I'm willing to bet that Steve can spell visceral and that he'd have different information for smoking and drinking.

[wonderwaiter]

Posted: 2/11/06 at 10:25pm

I love the idea of Stephen Sondheim going through his work day and thinking, "I can't wait to go home and write about this in my blog!!!"

[Roninjoey]

Posted: 2/11/06 at 10:27pm

He's kind of an emo guy, he'd so have a blog if he was like 30 years younger.

[wonderwaiter]

Posted: 2/11/06 at 10:30pm

Haha- as long as he doesn't get one of those stupid emo haircuts.
