Sondheim Show Evokes Crash

Bloomberg.com: Arts and Culture: "Even diehard followers of Stephen Sondheim would be hard pressed to name his first musical, not least because, after 55 years, the piece has yet to reach Broadway.
“Saturday Night” was written by Sondheim at the age of 24, based on a play by twin brothers called Epstein who split an Oscar for the screenplay of “Casablanca.”"

It's good to see Saturday Night performed. Period. However, I hope that some day the show might be able to make it beyond such a... quaint venue. It would be interesting to see the roots of Sondheim's works - and understand how his style progressed, as i'm sure it did.
