Not sure why this didn’t go in last message.

 

from that article...

 

"Only in September he announced the new musical, Square One, which he was writing with dramatist David Ives. It will now never be finished. Absurd though it sounds for a man of his age, it makes his death yet more untimely."

This is a little more upbeat.  Something I need on this very sad musical weekend.

 

 

The world will always be grateful to Stephen Sondheim.

He was blessed to be so admired by so many.

That collaboration with Leonard Bernstein on West Side Story should more than guarantee him an artistic immortality.

Huge loss. As distinctive and important a “voice” in his genre as were the likes of Ellington, Parker, Coltrane, Beatles……….in theirs.
