Happy Birthday Mr Sondheim...
Genius is ageless but it's still nice to know that some geniuses are not planning on retiring anytime soon! :)

Happy Birthday!!!
I'm listening to Company right now!
"In theater, the process of it is the experience. Everyone goes through the process, and everyone has the experience together. It doesn't last - only in people's memories and in their hearts. That's the beauty and sadness of it. But that's life - beauty and the sadness. And that is why theater is life." - Sherie Rene Scott

I was going to try to do a paraphrase of "Have an eggroll..." but if I am going to do that justice, I should have started sooner than today. Maybe next year -

I was introduced to Sondheim in November 2005 when the John Doyle-revival of SWEENEY TODD had just opened. I became obsessed with the preview clips on Broadway.com, and then bought the CD, and became obsessed with that too (although I did, like others, think at first that the man never met an very hard-to-get-used-to melody he didn't like).
I soon became interested in his other works, my second being ASSASSINS, and then PASSION, and... well, needless to say, Mr. Sondheim, you are my absolute favorite theater writer, and may you continue to create great works in as much time as you need (whether you be 78 or 101)!

I celebrated by auditioning for the upcoming transfer of Sunday in the Park with George.
Thank you for writing it, Mr. Sondheim - you've created a true masterpiece of modern American Theatre. Happy Birthday!
"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!"
Quote from someone on IMDB in reference to a movie he/she didn't understand. Such grammar!
