***Peter Filichia has written that he asked Sondheim if the character in FOLLIES was named Weismann so that it would rhyme with "nice man..."***
Whichever came first, the weird thing about that is "Weisman" would correctly be pronounced with a "z" sound instead of an "s" sound -- as if it were an English or American named spelled "Wiseman" -- which doesn't perfectly rhyme with "nice man," so I've always wondered why they didn't just spell it "Weissman" in FOLLIES, or change it to "Weissman" from "Weisman" after Sondheim came up with that line. |
