Something New…
A few moments ago, I heard Mandy Patinkin give an acceptance speech on behalf of Lifetime Achievement Award winner, Stephen Sondheim.
Sondheim quipped that “there’s a finality” to a Lifetime Achievement Award, and he’s right…
What struck me as wonderful, and so appropriate, is that there wasn’t a hurried montage of some of Mr. Sondheim’s past achievements, there was a single staged performance from the revival of his amazing “Sunday in the Park with George,” currently at the Roundabout Theatre.
The number, “Move On,” was so wonderfully poignant, relating to the veteran maestro’s words, but also to any artist featured during the evening or watching the Tony Awards on TV.
Dot sings:
Just keep moving on
Anything you do,
Let it come from you
Then it will be new
Give us more to see…
I promise, you’ll get more from me…
–Sue
