StundHusband, there are a few of us you don't want to get started on Sondheim.
Heh.
For example, my favorite insult of all time is Booth berating Oswald: "Are you such a vapid, vacuous nobody?!?" It rolls off the tongue so trippingly.
Strong like an Amazon.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'll lay money my favorite Sondheim is one everyone else dislikes.
Passion? I love them all, by the way.

Not true! I am a big proponent of making the distinction between nice and polite -- they are not the same thing at all.Not true! I am a big proponent of making the distinction between nice and polite -- they are not the same thing at all.
No, they aren't. I want people to be polite, and to try to be kind. Nice has nothing to do with it. SH, you've known me for ages - I'm frequently Not Nice. But I do try to be polite.

I believe in being polite, courteous and kind. While wishing people dead in my head for not being the same.
My new favorite Sondheim is Assasins. My previous was A Little Night Music.

Ann, that's a ferret.
A "Yay Christianity!" T-shirt isn't necessarily impolite. A "Boo Islam!" T-shirt pretty much is impolite by definition.

The author of the I Hate to Cook Book wrote an etiquette guide called I Try To Behave Myself. I don't know if it was useful or insightful or anything, but it's a great title.

When I was in high school, the local playhouse did A Little Night Music--not a bad version of it, surprisingly enough.
I've got the Carnegie Hall Tribute to Sondheim CD. It has a terrific rendition of "A Weekend in the Country" as the penultimate song (the final is "Sunday" from Sunday in the Park with George, which always brings tears to my eyes for some reason).
