THANK YOU!!! I don't think I have ever been as confused by a thread as I am this one, even ones about shows I know nothing about . The post says Company and as I remember it, that show was about this guy named Bobby and a bunch of his married friends and a few women who figured romantically in his life, but feel free to correct me if I am misremembering. Then several people start answering about Franklin Shepard who was a lead character in a different Sondheim show, but I will check with my friend Anne Morrison who lives near by. I am sure she can straighten me out as to which show the first responders might have been talking about. Then there was a comment about a Judge and his song, I am guessing that they were referring to Gilbert and Sullivan's Trial by Jury because that is the only Judge's song I know of. Oh, wait, there is a judge in another Sondheim show, but he doesn't make it all the way to the end, something happens to him along the way. Then there are a couple of mentions of a pool, can't recall a pool in any Sondheim show, where they talking about a pool of blood?

WILL SOMEONE MAKE SOME SORT OF SENSE OF ALL THIS?????

Ah, but when the pool was in the show during Broadway previews (for a surprisingly long time, although some cast members remember it being gone very quickly), that line was not in the show.

The show, of course, being A Little Night Music.

No, Merrily We Roll Along. Anyay, that line was added to the revision. Perhaps Furth missed the pool and he had to get a pool in there somehow. :)

I thought the swimming pool was where the frog jumped out of the cup and then went to Hades(town).

Bill, in San Diego, who will probably regret letting people know he wrote this

But, at least she got through it—and thank God, she’s still here!

Bill, in San Diego, who should have gone to an acting school, that seems clear...
