So unbelievably sad. Incredibly privileged to have gotten to see him at Company last Monday. My heart goes out to his family and friends and everyone in the theater community. nytimes.com/2021/11/26/the…
He created so much of my world of musical theater, which has provided me with one of the most comfortable spaces in my life. I am forever grateful to Sondheim for the worlds he has created for us.
A clip from last Monday, and some more sentiments, over on Instagram:
I keep thinking about the fact that one of Stephen Sondheim’s last theatrical experiences included him getting to see a Broadway audience give a standing ovation to a man (Matt Doyle) singing Company’s “Getting Married Today” — about his planned wedding to another man.
If you’ve ever been in or worked on a Sondheim show that I’ve seen — from that outdoors Into the Woods production I saw in Boardman, Ohio, the summer before I started college to the Assassins production I saw in NYC last week — thank you for adding immeasurably to my life.

“Once upon a time …”
Joanna and Chip! Are so perfect! The number of times I listened to this OBC recording — on CD! — long before I truly understand how incredible this all was. 🥺 But, I was learning. And loving it.
I was in high school in Ohio and it was the early ’90s — he has charm for a prince, I guess — and I was just beginning to fall in love with musical theater — a bean can begin an adventure — and Into the Woods was my introduction to Sondheim. It was unlike anything else.

Julius Jones will not be executed, but per the Oklahoma governor’s order nor will he be eligible, ever, to be let out of prison. ImageImage
Here’s the relevant part: Image
The ability of the governor to put this particular sort of condition on the grant of clemency could (and possibly will) be challenged, but courts definitely have allowed certain conditions to be placed on grants of clemency in the past.

I started with “All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault)” and then looped around to the start.
Stuck on “Treacherous.” How perfect is she on this?

So, my summer was great (until I got Covid), and I’ve really enjoyed doing project-based work, from columns to speaking to podcasts and beyond. Now that I’m recovered from Covid and back from my (wonderful!) Paris trip, I’m trying to get things a bit more organized going forward.
I am a legal expert, having written about the Supreme Court for 20+ years. I have deep knowledge of LGBTQ and criminal justice issues, government and politics, and media and journalism. My expertise ranges from in-depth process issues to real-world effects on people everywhere.
In short: If you are looking for an expert in any of these ares, I’m your person! I love creative work, too, so do think creatively about how I could be used — writing, editing, speaking, analysis, strategy, teaching, etc.
