Rec. #557: Sondheim Lyrics on Twitter
What: Stephen Sondheim is widely accepted as one of theater's greatest lyricists, and there's a Sondheim lyric for most things. With @sondheimlyrics, you can have them doled out to you in one place, funny and sad and arch and poignant all together.
Representative tweets:
"A gun kills many men before it's done."
"To wish and wait from day to day will never keep the wolves away."
Connections to previous Wreckage: One of my person favorite Sondheim shows is Company (Rec. #99). For a behind-the-scenes view of the creative process, see The Best Worst Thing That Ever Could Have Happened (Rec. #511). Sondheim also co-wrote The Last of Sheila (Rec. #215).
