I'd hate to hear what she'd have to say about Exhibit A, or I Never Do Anything Twice...or the Judge's Johanna...or Epiphany...:-)

But I’m tempted to add:

“Someone in a Tree” —You are obsessed with history, which is why you work in the gift shop at the museum. You run your local chapter of the Society for Creative Anachronism, work at the Renaissance Faire in summers, and are secretly chuffed that Sondheim says this is his favorite song, too.

“Please Hello”—You are the music teacher at the local high school and adore Sondheim’s use of pastiche. You continually fight with the drama teacher over the spring musical, and painstakingly re-orchestrate the entire score. You haven’t heard any song written in the 21st besides HAMILTON and DEAR EVAN HANSEN, and you only heard those because you teach teenagers.

“On the Steps of the Palace”—You love puzzles, like SS, so you revel in all those internal rhymes. You alphabetize your herbs and spices, and never go out without matching shoes and purse.

“Uptown, Downtown”—You are the theatre nerd who picks the cut song from FOLLIES because that’s just you. You wish you were Hyphenated Harriet, but though you try to dress like a quirky, Greenwich Village beatnik, you just look like Sonia from THEY’RE PLAYING OUR SONG. You own six cats, all named for Golden Age songwriters. Yip loves to sleep in your lap, Ira knocks things off the shelves, and Cole chews on anything plastic l
