| He has every right to be true to his own experience. I don’t doubt that Sondheim had his complexities. | |

| I don’t doubt that Sondheim had his complexities. Of course. He was human. Are any of us angels all the time to everyone, without vices and dark sides? |

| Of course we are not all angels, but arguably Stephen Sondheim was treated like a god (or, per New York Magazine, God themself). With each passing year his sacrosanct reputation only burnished and deepened, with people realising that we were being gifted with his presence in our lives for longer than we might have logically expected. It doesn't seem surprising that people are being more frank in talking about him now that he is gone. He set the precedent with his lacerating comments about fellow lyricists in his two (wonderful) books and his decision to not comment on those still living. | |
