SONDHEIM IS A GENIUS.

[Pikminlinkfan23]

I have the dvd! :-) Me and my dad watched i loved it! It has brent spiner when he was young and he was totally hot!

[dudeperson397]

i like the music its just the acting and lyrics hurt to watch and listen to

[j11ep]

@dudeperson397 I hope you realize that Stephen Sondheim is one of, if not THE highest respected lyricist in musical theatre history.

[grant1205]

@dudeperson397 And since you yourself stated that you hate the lyrics, song, and singing I do not see how you can like the music at all. Nice job trying to save face you cowardless dung.

[dudeperson397]

@grant1205 im taking an honors english class, and the stupid teacher thinks that examining songs that no one our age cares about is more important then doiing actual english

[TheSondheimFan]

@dudeperson397 That's a nice, open-minded approach to take towards music like this.

English teachers often like to take music that offers different perspectives on the topics discussed in class or the books read- my AP English teacher last year had us listen to "The Ghost of Tom Joad" to get a better understanding of Steinbeck's message in The Grapes of Wrath. I'm sure your English teacher had some similar purpose in choosing this song.

[TheSondheimFan]

@dudeperson397 Also, I take high offense at your assertion that songs like this are "songs that no one our age cares about". The amount of ways in which that comment is completely and utterly asinine is truly astounding, so you would do yourself well to avoid any future hyperbolic statements like that.

[grant1205]

@dudeperson397 No one our age! I am 17 years old and I can clearly see the beauty and significance in this song and acting! If you can't then you are even dumber than I first believed you to be and to be quite honest I didn't think that was possible.

[Kari166]

@dudeperson397, pfft. Shows what you know. "No one our age"? PLEASE.

[maryrose707]

@dudeperson397 I don't understand why you don't like this. You say the Singing and Acting sucks? This is Mandy Patinkin. You may know him from Princess Bride? "Hallo. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." And Bernadette Peters? She's fantastic at every little thing she may do. Song and lyrics suck? The song and the music is full of so much emotion. The lyrics are phenomenal. They say exactly what they need to say. Please refrain from speaking this nonsense.

[BoredTomboy]

The way she says "The Follies, George..."

Oh my god, it kills me and breaks my heart open.

[illusions142]

I love theatre and I'm an art history major, so the combination of these two are fabulous.  I especially like when he's saying the colors yellow and blue and red because (supposedly) Seurat created "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" using only these three colors. This is actually not entirely true, he did fudge it a little bit and use small portions of green and orange and whatnot. I love that this song even summarizes Seurat's artistic composition.

Sondheim is brilliant.

[dudeperson397]

singing sucks, song sucks, lyrics suck, actors suck. im only watching ths for school

[AdamEfimoff]

@dudeperson397 really i think its beautiful

[TheSondheimFan]

@dudeperson397 Well, thank you so much for this insightful criticism. Truly, your words have inspired millions, and we all bow down to the insatiable wit of your high opinion.

[illusions142]

@TheSondheimFan --I love you.

[mfalgier]

@TheSondheimFan I love you :)

[KevCantStop]

@dudeperson397 You're an idiot. To say that Bernadette Peters, Mandy Patinkin, and Stephen Sondheim all "suck" shows that you really don't know anything about musical theatre.

[wjsing2k]

@dudeperson397

[Pikminlinkfan23]

@dudeperson397 Your a negative! You better get off your HIGH horse! And look at the things the way it is! Mr. HIGH AND MIGTHTY!

[grant1205]

@dudeperson397 why is an unintelligent little shit like you taking a class where you watch a Sondheim show? You are failing, that is for certain.

[NathanielLevy]

Brilliant piece of work, and thank you so very much for uploading this.

[buhbuhbilly]

One of the most beautiful shows performed by some of the most beautiful people.. so fantastic.

[ng1493]

Mandy Patinkin is a better George Seurat than Geroge Seurat.

[hyperactor94]

my marching band is doing a show based off of this O_o imagine that.

[fishieXrawr]

@hyperactor94 Mine too and I'm totally obsessed with our show! Sound of Pride? ;)

[hyperactor94]

@fishieXrawr Dis be par par? Dis is Eyeque.

[LexxLafever]

Beautiful. Love it so much. :)

[BOomeek]

Thank you soooo much for the upload.

This clip means absolutely everything to me.

Sondheim sums up so many crazy complex points in this song... It's phenomenal.

[Dippythedogable]

I am addicted to this so I am going to buy the DVD

[AdamEfimoff]

The revival was amazing but so was south pacific by the end of this year as the sun sets on sondhiem we need new composers to fill his place and this is not happening what a travesty

[Dippythedogable]

[Jiraiya1313]
