AND also missing in this article is the age of Stapley, who apparently is still alive, and how, unlike all the other fascinating parallels with the plot of the movie, Swanson either didn't realize or didn't care that Stapley was romantically involved with the CO-writer of THIS project. Or anything more about either of these men.
OR the fuller story of Sondheim's interest in making a musical of "Sunset," which long preceded Prince's involvement. And the sudden ending of this piece(editing?)gives the impression the ALW musical was a one-time bomb. |
