From what I remember of Sondheim's interview on Colbert before passing, he DID say that the musical WOULD be forthcoming in the spring - and I believe Cerveris ALSO stated that act one was essentially complete. Perhaps maybe just that portion will be worked into a new show? Given all that, can I just say - is it odd I'm almost as excited at the proposition of Beanie Feldstein as Rachel Berry in Glee the Musical? :-)

I think maybe we could see a limited run type deal (like two week charity event) with the understanding that it's not complete. Maybe actors at music stands vibe. I think at least hearing some of the completed songs would be nice to hear. However I feel weird about showing someone's work who admitted it wasn't finished. Idk like showing his work in a state he might not have wanted to show the public quite yet.

But maybe what David Ives should do is rework the material for TV and, if it's successful, Sondheim might get an Emmy and complete his EGOT.

From all reports, Sondheim wrote far less finished music for this than we were led by some to believe. I've heard from numerous people that it would be impossible to build a full score from what's there--maybe a concert of a few of the finished material? What I wonder about is they ARE sitting on a full Sondheim score from around 1990. He wrote a movie musical for director Rob Reiner with a script by William Goldman (Reiner had just directed Goldman's Princess Bride and of course Goldman is the brother of James Goldman who wrote Follies and Evening Primrose with Sondheim.) The songs were all finished (a few like Water Under the Bridge have been recorded) as was the script--it's out there, I've read it, and it's great. But at the last minute they decided it would be too big budget for an adult musical at a time when live action movie musicals were dead. Now, with computers, the effects required (going through different musical genres visually--from MTV to classic Hollywood) would be much easier to do and it would be perfect for HBO or Netflix to pick up.

14:25 Even RENT, to some extent, feels unfinished. A lot of the creatives who were working on it at the time also feel this way, feeling that the show would have been different if Larson was still alive to work on it. I think that there's really no way to get a completed work once the primary author passes on because no one can truly know the creative decisions a person would make. I would really like to hear the songs though! Maybe they can fashion them together in a very lightly staged concert, maybe along with some of his back catalog to complete the score?

@@maxfischer5962 Every song in the first act has a mate in the second act, creating a perfectly balanced show. Inspired by Seurat's use of only 11 colours (plus white), Tunick used only 11 instruments in the pit, and Sondheim wrote the first minimalist Broadway score, limiting the thematic material and using leitmotifs brilliantly to vary the colours. That musical repetition is also reflective of the artistic repetition that George demonstrates in act 2. He worries that his art is nothing more than a theme and variation, or maybe nothing more than full-on repetition. Where George is not in control of that repetition, Sondheim is. He never repeats the exact same thing twice and his use of repetition is in servicing the minimalist development of the score, tying the 2 acts together. Neither is complete without the other. It's literally a masterclass in composition. The second act IS the story. To not understand it is to not understand the show. George (and Dot to a lesser extent) has so much growing to do that it takes multiple generations for his story to be resolved. Act 1 George Is steadfast and sure when it comes to his art; Act 2 George is as unsure about his art as his predecessor was confident. By the end of her life, Dot has grown and matured into the woman that George wanted and needed her to be; she has come to understand and accept him. He was dead, of course, but this is demonstrated through the parallels between act one's We do not belong together and act two's move on. Dot and modern day George finally sing in harmony, something Sondheim generally doesn't allow his characters to do until they have reconciled. It only happens one very brief moment earlier in the show, when they are both expressing their mutual attraction to each other in Color and Light. Musical harmony equals emotional harmony. Order, design, composition, tension, balance, light, and harmony don't just describe George's work. They describe this show. Every bit of it: the score, the book, the set, the lighting...everything. The second act is SO much more than "a couple of nice songs.". And the chromolume is SUPPOSED to be embarrassing. That's a massive part of the story...

I can be more of a curmudgeon than I realized. From the time this work was announced in development under various titles, I was never very excited about it because, despite the ear-pricking news like "Sondheim's new show" or at this point "Sondheim's final work" because Sondheim's work....had been falling off for years. You'd have to go back to Assassins for a good Sondheim score, and I'm no fan of Assassins (no attack meant on people who are--it just wasn't for me, and I felt he was doing things he'd done before). This isn't meant to denigrate Sondheim's overarching body of work. He's a giant, and I'm a huge fan. But the more recent output just wasn't of a high caliber. So I actually ignored all the info about this one as it was developing, figuring if it turned out to be a return to form I'd learn about that soon enough. And thus didn't wind up falling for the prank--which is, admittedly, a pretty good prank.
