Sondheim Dishes Foxy Mama, Barbara Cook Steals Show
Bloomberg.com: “Sondheim on Sondheim,” the revue put together by James Lapine from Stephen Sondheim’s songs, confirms enchantingly what we already know but can gladly bear such eloquent repeating of: that Sondheim is the best composer- lyricist we’ve got.

Although I'm not directly commenting about the content of the article, there is a photo on that page that struck me. It is the set for this review, a photograph of Sondheim that has been created into a platform/flat combination that breaks at the center, and allows performers to sing from the various levels of the platform. It puts Sondheim's face above the performers, encompassing the work that is done onstage. The set is a little distracting to me, but I think it was a good idea. It is also a little too literal. It just kind of screams "Hey! We're doing a tribute to Sondeim here!"
