You may be right that the author intended it that way, but the sentence reads like "quite vocal" is meant to be in contrast to his "enthusiastically endorse[ment]" of the film. I mean, if Sondheim regularly praises productions of his work, why bother to note that he's doing it again? The only reason to do that would be if the point was something like, "Oh, here goes Sondheim again raving about a production of one of his shows. Who can trust him?"

I know! I think the writer was trying to build some drama and conflict in an otherwise bland article.
