Speaking of the Broadway Softball League, I ran into another BroadwayStars.com correspondant at the season opener yesterday. The quartet from 'The Music Man' performed a beautiful rendition of the Star Spangled Banner, which would have been better if the cast of 'Riverdance' behind us had been a little quieter. Well, it isn't their national anthem, I suppose. We checked out the casts of 'Aida', 'The Producers' (surrounded by the papparazzi), 'Rent', 'The Full Monty', 'Cuckoo's Nest', 'Stones in His Pockets'/'The Dinner Party' (somehow I completely missed Henry Winkler stretching right in front of us), and the team from Equity/Playwright's Horizons. Totally enjoyable afternoon, the rest of which I spent rollerblading the loop in Central Park and working on my sunburn.

Philadelphia City Paper

Philadelphia City Paper Cast Your Own Follies
A favorite party game among Sondheim enthusiasts is creating imaginary casts — some plausible, some wishful, some ludicrous — for Follies. These lists circulate widely over the Internet, picking up momentum and sometimes causing fights.
It's just a Sondheim day! I really just like to write in purple.

Philadelphia City Paper

Philadelphia City Paper He Wuz Robbed!Sondheim has won eight Tony Awards. Still, loyal fans are just as likely to remember the awards he — and his musicals — have lost.

Philadelphia City Paper

Philadelphia City Paper I Was There, You Weren’t
A game of oneupsmanship. For Sondheim mavens, it’s not enough to have seen every show (or every show several times over). Certain rare events, witnessed by only a privileged few, have special cachet. How many of these have you seen?

Philadelphia City Paper

Philadelphia City Paper The Tao of Steve
Why is it that Stephen Sondheim inflames the passions of musical theater fans more than any other composer?
