Wasn't there a production of the junior version that was somehow part of the Sondheim Celebration? (Of course, I'm sure no one talked about moving it to Broadway!)"
Yes, here is a link.

Raul Esparza! and the glorious Miriam Shor! not to mention Emily Skinner as Gussie!!!! and Christopher Ashley's excellent direction.) And Judy Kuhn's Fosca couldn't be beat! I also liked John Barrowman's decidedly Gay take on Bobby in COMPANY. Not so enthusiastic for SUNDAY or

At the time, the D.C. downtown library had videotapes of the shows, and I went there and watched some of them. They are probably long gone now. I also saw four of the shows in person—Company, Passion, Night Music and Merrily. That was a great summer to live in D.C.

The run time is listed as two hours with an intermission. That seems really short. But I guess I don’t have to worry about catching the last Metro train.

Jordan Catalano said: "That article sounds like a Fox News segment. But (and Christ it pains me to say this) there’s truth in it. Hotels right next to me are homeless shelters looooong after we were told they would be and additional buildings are still used to as shelters, although they’re not for migrants (at least from what I can see every day).

annang said: "Isn’t he the one who never bothered to move to DC, and has lived in NY the whole time he was the Post’s theater critic? The Post should have a full time theater critic, but it should be someone who actually lives here."
I'm pretty sure that's not true.

Anyone else go? I saw it with a decent crowd in Alexandria, Va. I hadn't seen it in about 20 years. I enjoyed it, and I'm proud to say I got all the preshow trivia questions correct.

I saw him on Broadway in the early ‘80s in “The Pirates of Penzance.” He replaced Kevin Kline. IBDB says he took over the role in August 1981.

Bad lyrics by good lyricists

West Side Story.
"Smoke on your pipe and put that in."
Also: "I'm depraved on account I'm deprived." No way any self-respecting Jet would have said that--or even known the definition of "depraved."
I'm sure there are more. Sondheim was a baby then. Or perhaps Bernstein is to blame.
