As this new musical confirms, Stephen Sondheim died happy, at the top of his lyrical and compositional game, and clearly in love.
NEW YORK — As his last musical “Hear We Are” confirms, Stephen Sondheim died happy, at the top of his lyrical and compositional game and clearly in love. “To love is to live” was a Sondheim creed.
In Act 1, which lampoons what Sondheim liked to call “The Blob” — the chattering entitled for whom he had much disdain in life — the actors Rachel Bay Jones, Bobby Cannavale, Tracie Bennett, Steven Pasquale have fun at the expense of pretentious eateries and the New Yorkers who fight for influence therein. The satire is rich — Sondheim rhymes Lamborghinis and Vodkatinis and the server at all the restaurants the crew visits is viscerally played by Denis O’Hare.
