Eighth NIght: Rest in Power Stephen Sondheim

Like every other "celebrate something or other for a specified period," Hanukkah comes to an end and RantWoman will return to a quakerly "no respecter of days / observe all year" mindset.


For the eighth night, RantWoman has been deeply touched this week listening to NPR's 3 part series honoring Stephen Sondheim.

Remembering Stephen Sondheim parts I-III


Fresh Air Remembers Stephen Sondheim


RantWoman feels no call to rewrite anyone else's words. RantWoman is just going to say, there is MUCH to Sondheim's life and work and creative process. RantWoman is not quite sure why she is stuck on Sweeney Todd.. There is more than enough awfulness in the world without the Demon barber of Fleet Street. And it's good both to hold the need and to remember all the rest of Sondheim's career.
