And now, a conversation about the late, great Broadway composer and lyricist, Stephen Sondheim. Midday theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck is not only a Sondheim fan, she’s also a Sondheim scholar, who knows his work as well as anyone.
A few weeks ago, she recorded an interview with D.T. Max, a staff writer at the New Yorker magazine, about his new book, "Finale: Late Conversations with Stephen Sondheim,” a selection of transcripts of his extensive in-person interviews with Mr. Sondheim, conducted shortly before the composer's death in November, 2021, while he was working to complete a musical he called "Square One."
D.T. Max will talk about his new book at Ivy Bookshop's Bird in Hand Coffee and Books on Friday, January 6 at 6:00pm. Click the link for more details.
