Sondheim at 80 - Sunday in the Park with George, Move On

[FIONAFOR]

Jenna Russell is far better than Bernadette Peters who is always Bernadette Peters I think.

Sondheim and Webber in the same sentence....oh dear oh dear. Sondheim is a genius, the greatest musical writer there is. Webber, well he can write the odd tune but he is not in the same league as Sondheim. Nowhere near.

[Giovanni222]

@ukdavepianoman Oh hello there pretence.

I love Sunday in the Park with George, in fact I adore it, but there is far too strong a tendency to turn a blind eye towards Sondheim's faults among fans. ALW certainly has a more limited imagination and less expansive emotive pallet, and Time Rice's lyrics are generally woeful, but ALW is a master of pastiche, has written more than 'the odd tune' and has created some great characters.

@Giovanni222 Where does "pretence" come into it? I'm not pretending about anything I say. Why should I admire someone who is a master of pastiche for goodness sake? My admiration is reserved for composers who create their own singular voice.

6:35. Can't stop watching it.

Through design, composition, balance, light and harmony.

Artists are bizarre, fixed, cold... that's you, George.

Love Jenna Russell and Daniel Evans! <3 Brilliant performance! Just as good as Bernadette's.

[RosesNightengales]

Sondheim & Webber are my favorite musical composers of all time.

[MrGreenBandAid]

Two Words: Bernadette. Peters. That is all.

@MrGreenBandAid

Peters is an phenomenon. It is a major work. This is a show riddled with incredible ideas and it is incredibley moving and keeps the listener captivated whilst choking back tears not to miss a moment. I do like this perfomance though. It has the Sondheim eyebrows.

[serpechia]

Daniel Evans is just the most wonderful man to watch perform. Endlessly honest.

[cdssmac]

Sondheim is God!

[Pobcouture]

She is wonderful, I saw her do it in The West End and on Broadway...................she was heartbreaking and funny and perfect.

[Beejeification]

Jenna Russell is AMAZING!

[Dallimorelover]

This is absolutely hilarious. The first time I heard this song was on this concert. Jenna pitches it perfectly and it's an absolutely brilliant song. So cleverly written! Can't fault it really! Such a good show as well.
