The semi-tasteless, one-joke note of « Boy, Can that Boy Foxtrot » was probably why it was cut.
The rest of Sondheim’s work is not so close to single entendre.
But I think there’s healthy sexuality in his work sometimes.
Songs like « That’ll Show Him » from Funny Thing and The Miller’s Son from Night Music and even Follies’ « Could I Leave You », and Company’s « Barcelona, » among others, treat of different aspects of sexuality in relationship, but they are so wonderfully modulated by character and circumstance that they reveal human nature and story. Not prurient. |
