A BRAND NEW Sondheim Show!

After the success of Broadway's thrilling new musical "Sondheim on Sondheim", the retrospective account of Stephen Sondheim's career told through Sondheim songs and video clips of Mr. Sondheim speaking about said career, the Sondheim estate will soon be announcing the newest Sondheim musical, "Sondheim on Sondheim on Sondheim," where Mr. Sondheim will relate stories  about the making of "Sondheim on Sondheim" using music, motion-capture technology and marionettes. The show is scheduled to open in June, 2010 and will be helmed by filmmaker, James Cameron.


This new musical will feature 3-D video clips and songs from "Sondheim on Sondheim" as well as songs that were cut from "Sondheim on Sondheim", focusing on Mr. Sondheim's arduous process in choosing the songs for "Sondheim on Sondheim."


Plans are already in the works for a follow-up show tentatively titled, "Sondheim on Sondheim on Sondheim on Sondheim," which will employ the use of robots, lasers, video clips of Mr. Sondheim and actual audience members regaling us with stories about their experiences at "Sondheim on Sondheim on Sondheim." No director has been announced, but Mr. Sondheim has expressed an interest in directing the show himself.

History Repeating

The band Green Day has a musical! 
Another show with smoke and fire escape settings featuring disillusioned young people in rags and plaids wailing at the audience while pumping their fists in the air and standing in solidarity with legs apart and feet firmly planted except for that one heel that pumps to the angry beat.
