Sweeney Todd has a new Broadway Cast recording out and Stephen Sondheim was present the launch of the album. Fans would know that Sondheim hates interviews and public appearances in general, so this was a rare treat indeed! And I was there! He was in a great mood (enhanced by the white wine) and so was everyone else including Patti Lupone and Michael Cerveris. Okay, so I wasn’t supposed to take a picture but that was what actually got Stephen’s attention as a lady politely told me not to. He looked up and simply shrugged at me and smiled and said as-a-matter-of-factly that it would just slow things down. But then there was all this time as he was waiting for Patti to slide down the next CD, so he just looked at me and I looked at him. I was devoid of any intelligent to say. And that was that.
