Remember that article from December announcing that The Dramatists Guild had uncovered a bunch of old reel to reel tapes of their members giving lectures about their work? Well, they’ve launched a podcast from those archives, and the first episode features a Stephen Sondheim talk from the early 1970s — he claims it’s his first — in which he sings a couple of songs that had been cut from A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.
It’s utterly delightful. I’m sure you’ll think so too.
Ugh. I wish I could listen to this. FU computer speakers! I wish this was downloadable so I could put it on my ipod :/
You can download it from the Dramatists Guild website - right-click on Sondheim’s face and save the target file.
