Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street | Hugh Wheeler

#Scarathalon Photo Challenge - Day 5 - Blood 🩸

Last night‘s Broadway show brought this one to mind. Saw this a few weeks ago - currently starring Josh Groban as the deadly barber - but the night of he was out with COVID. 🥲

Shy: The Alarmingly Outspoken Memoirs of Mary Rodgers | Mary Rodgers, Jesse Green

pick

I loved this memoir of Mary Rodgers, the daughter of Richard Rodgers of Rodgers and Hammerstein fame and a musical talent in her own right. She is best known for composing the music to Once Upon a Mattress and writing the children‘s classic book, Freaky Friday. Her sharp wit and personality shone through in this chatty memoir. She had a front row seat to the creation of many musical classics and I would recommend this to any big Broadway fan.

Ruthiella I loved Freaky Friday as a kid! And also the movie with Jodie Foster. 12mo

Ncostell @Ruthiella I know, I loved both the book and the original movie too! I want to go back and revisit them both now. 12mo

Look, I Made a Hat: Collected Lyrics (1981-2011), With Attendant Comments, Amplifications, Dogmas, Harangues, Digressions, Anecdotes and Miscellany | Stephen Sondheim

pick

I think I finished the first volume last March! I‘ve read it alongside other books when I had the time and I‘m so glad I finally finished it. A must read for anyone passingly familiar with Sondheim, and so much more potent now that the giant is gone from this plane.

Into the Woods | James Lapine, Stephen Sondheim, Hudson Talbott

Don't mind me, just weeping in spite of myself. Sondheim, you mad bastard; thank you. #SeeMoreTheatre

Ruthiella What‘s your favorite Sondheim? I‘ve not seen/heard them all, but I think Company is my No. 1. 2y

Andrea313 @Ruthiella Such a hard question! My favorite is probably Assassins, followed VERY closely by Sunday. But Into the Woods and Sweeney are also high on the list; it honestly feels impossible to choose! 2y

Ruthiella It‘s a totally unfair question! 😂 Assassins is maybe my second favorite and I‘ve never heard or seen Sunday in the Park with George…but I think I‘d start with Mandy Patinkin and Bernadette Peters. 2y
