Sondheim status?

[bruzson]

So the ‘Exterminating Angel’ opera has come and gone and the last glimmer of news on Sondheim’s latest musical was Lin-Manuel Miranda noting six months ago that Sondheim was writing due to an upcoming deadline. And no news since the workshop of the first act about a year ago

So is this project still on or has it quietly been shuffled into the dustbin?

EDIT: I forgot what year it is, and thought this article was posted just a few days ago.Whoops.

The show had a “mini workshop” this week [Jan 4th] at the Public Theater and a full-scale workshop is being planned for March 2017. The Post report said “producer Scott Rudin is involved, so if the reviews are good, it’s sure to move to Broadway, perhaps by the spring of 2018, when the composer will celebrate his 88th birthday.”

What would make you wonder that?

 

Also cool to see Sara Stiles involved.

When posing the question re 'the status' of a person--you are generally asking about their health.

It's a joke Joyce

Surely the OP knows that putting "status" in the thread subject means one thing to most gay men reading this-- HIV status. Please, OP, won't you revise the subject line to something specific to your question? There seems to be a glut of unseemly threads with Sondheim in the subject line today-- at least this one can be repaired.
