    Stephen Sondheim feels like an old friend to me. Rest In Peace Maestro.

    George Hearn is a god. I absolutely love him. I have been in love with him and his voice since he first introduced to Sondheim during a PBS broadcast of Sweeney Todd way back in 1982...I was half asleep on the couch that Friday night and through the twilight....I said to myself "What IS that beautiful music and who is that singing". I have been a Sondheim/Hearn fanatic ever since. God bless you! Genuis!!!

    That "Hey" is the saddest "Hey" I've ever heard. If I got older and my old friend did that to me I would've broken down in tears too.

    I love how right after she gets through singing, Carol hugs George and (probably) cries on his shoulder. I get so much like that during last shows, too.

    My absolute favorite part? Just after the curtain falls when George gathers everyone in for a group hug. :)

    The drama teacher and mentor that pointed me to the genius of Sondheim just passed this morning. This was what I was humming to myself before I found out. Seems very fitting now.

    @toothpick04 When he got injured during the show his understudy came very close to performing in his role to where under equity rules he would have to take over the part and Bronson would be out of a job. Bronson pretty much ordered the producers the find someone to take the part over for a couple of weeks so he could keep his job and enter Evan Pappas into the role...Evan was better....
