Hello all you beautiful people out there!
This is your intrepid reporter bringing you the latest poop in show biz!
When I say poop, I'm talking about the biggest poop ever!
I had the privilege and honor to sit down for a chat with none other than Mr Stephen Sondheim!
I know what you're saying. Stephen Sondheim died in November 2021. Since when has something like death stopped yours truly from getting the 411?
Here's a transcript:
Me:Thank you so much Mr Sondheim for taking the time. The general public probably knows of you from that beautiful song 'Send in the Clowns'. Do you know what I discovered?
If you take the letters that make up your name, Stephen Sondheim, you can come up with 'Send in the'. The letters remaining are 'e h m o p s'.
Before you settled on 'clowns', was there anything else using those six letters that might have worked?
STEPHEN SONDHEIM = SEND IN THE..O, SHEMP.
Me: Wow! Who knew Stephen Sondheim was a 3 Stooges fan! Anything else?
STEPHEN SONDHEIM = SEND IN THE PM SHOE.
Me:Interesting! You wear 2 pairs of shoes every day! One pair in the morning and one pair for the afternoon and evening. I must try that!
STEPHEN SONDHEIM = SEND IN THE 'H' POEMS.
Me: Ohh I see. You wrote poems in your spare time. You kept them in a file cabinet and arranged them in alphabetical order by title. Very clever!
STEPHEN SONDHEIM = SEND IN THE HEMP, SO..
Me: Excuse me Mr Sondheim. We need to take a short break. I'll be back with Part II of my chat with Broadway legend Stephen Sondheim in a moment!
