Stephen Sondheim on Company

[Hairymaineguy]

to respond to a few comments. "If I were he" is grammatically correct as the verb in the sentence, "to be" takes the nominative case. Him is more common and acceptable usage. To call a person pompous because he is smart reveals the jealousy and ignorance of the speaker.

POMPOUS?! How idiotic!  So... a person who knows totally what he's doing and has proved it again and again.... is 'pompous'. What a 'pompous' thing to say, only demonstrating you don't have a clue what's going on here. Have you seen the show?

[MondoMiami]

what a pompous ass.

[welshdevondragon]

@MondoMiami maybe he is a bit pompous but hell, if anyone has a right to be smug/ satisfied then I think he does!

[PuppetGamerguy]

were these one act plays ever published? if so-then where can I find them?

[MovieDudeProductions]

They put all of them in the show

[SuttonBiggestFan]

Company is truly one of his masterpieces. Well done! He greatly deserved the Lifetime Achievement award at the Tony's. It's a shame he wasn't there to receive it, though...

[BillyCowles]

i love how he's so humble, it would be hard to not get a big head if you were him!

[DeeCee8121]

If you were he... He, not him.

[violetcloud]

no, actually, "him" is the object pronoun and "he" is the subject pronoun. it is correct to say "if you were him"

[Crinni1]

is it just me or does Sam look really disengaged with this?!

Indeed everyone, Stephen (and I feel slightly blasphemous for calling him that!) is an absolute genius.

Awesome. What a brilliant man.
