OMG I attended this as a new arrival in NYC, in shock that such events happened and I could just show up to. It wasn’t even full! So happy you posted this. thank you thank you thank you
Thanks so, so much for sharing this! I was in that audience that day and vividly remember this remarkable conversation. How wonderful this recording exists!
In my opinion, this is the most important conversation about musical theater collaboration in the history of the form. What it speaks directly, and what it reveals through subtext among Robbins, Bernstein, Laurents and Sondheim. Thank you so much for making this available to the public!
@You’re Gonna Love Tomorrow - I don’t know where you find these gems, but THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Your channel is extraordinary and a time capsule of great works. Much appreciated
What a remarkable document! Imagine the honor of having been in that audience to hear this fabled group of American artists discuss what may be the 20th century's landmark artistic achievement, one they created. You should be canonized for posting it.
I just wanna say, I really love your channel -you have made so many gems accessible, I have learned so much as a young artist and amateur-musicologist from listening to these incredibly insightful panels and interviews… thank you 🙏🏻
What an absolutely amazing peak into the creative process, the humanity of these creators, and the extraordinary power of collaboration. Thanks for posting it!
Extraordinary to hear these guys, so alive and vibrant, giving back and forth on perhaps the greatest show each of them has ever been connected with, (Sondheim clearly excepted). Gorgeous tribute to hear them now that each of them (along with Terence McNally) is no longer with us, but the show is newly current.
Despite what is said in the film about West Side Story being the first show to have all named characters form the chorus, South Pacific (1949) used a chorus of all named characters
If a video existed of this meeting of the brilliant, the most interesting language for me would be of Bernstein and Sondheim, Sondheim (maybe) rolling his eyes as Bernstein tells a tale.
@you'reGonnaLoveTomorrow To be sitting here in 2022 listening to these giants talk about 'putting on a show' is such a treat. I'm just getting around to listening to all of Sondheim's recently published or curated interviews - especially the six hour sit down with Horowitz which tells you most everything about the complete mastery Sondheim has about his notes and his relentless search for perfection -- and to hear them talk out loud about how they ultimately worked together to solve all the hurdles in a humorous loving way is a gift for the ages. Thanks so much for finding and publishing this. To hear the level of brainpower and talent focused on this show despite all the setbacks, and their very busy professional schedules is required viewing for historians and practitioners.
What would American culture be without the contributions of Jewish artists? Not much. The same applies, in my opinion, without the rich artistry of African Americans.
the question about some of the lyrics or music having been written by Bernstein or Sondheim gets non- answered by Bernstein at first..then gets a VERY detailed answer by Sondheim..I think that says it all about the bone of contention that existed but neither wanted to aknowledge publicly...in the end the last survivor got the definitive story out I guess as Sondheim now is seen generally as the sole lyricist of WSS

If Terrence McNally is simply the _moderator,_ you know it's going to be a legendary conversation.

What year was this!
Such a priceless interview of the collaboration process between these geniuses. Amazing. Thank you so much for sharing this!

“Sondheim clearly excepted”. Agreed!
What a gem!! At 01:37 has anyone noticed when the ice is clanking as the water is poured someone whispers “ your on mic” - great sound!!
An amazing piece of theatre history. Many thanks.
Awesome
This is SO amazing - what a treat! You have a knack for finding the best stuff - thank you so very much!

This is amazing and chilling. 🎭👏🏻 A religious street war, I did not know that origin.
Extraordinary
Bruh, Sam the snowman was the first person to say the F bomb on Broadway… iconic
Amazing!
I love everything you post!
All that genius in one spot will probably never happen again.
Incredible marriage of two masterful composers (one only asked to do lyrics)
What a treat this is to listan to 4 legands
Wonderful stuff (in a very nerdy kind of way).
When theater was created by Giants ...
What would American culture be without the contributions of Jewish artists? Not much. The same applies, in my opinion, without the rich artistry of African Americans.
You could add gay to that.
Jewish GAY artists, thank you.
Let’s stick with the Jewish. They make up only 1.7% of American population. Their contribution to our culture is astounding.
shocked Lenny sez all the lyrics existed on page already 25:56 written by Laurents

Sadly Bernstein took credit away from ( young and naive ) Sondhiem. Such an egomaniac!
Keith, he's only talking about "Something's Coming".
