Pacific Overtures 9/20

[ATsarIsBorn]

Is this the most inventive American musical ever or what?

[ritsfata]

@ATsarIsBorn I think this was, what am I saying, IS a groundbreaking show which is still very powerful, but, and mind you this is my opinion, there have been shows since which have made bigger points, been far more emotionally powerful and have had some more interesting productions since.

he has also been quoted as saying Someone In A Tree is his favorite ever

lol I love the brothel madame. His expressions/delivery is hilarious and the lyrics are such a great example of the humor

I recall Sondheim saying, on a BBC radio programme, that this song ('Poems') is his favourite, not just of this show, but of all his shows.

That doesn't surprise me--the wordplay is among his very best.
