| I imagine it was less about Sondheim's (understandable) disparagement of the Porgy and Bess revival and more about his open distaste for Ira Gershwin as a lyricist, as noted in the Hat books. Seth, not about to go digging them out for a citation |

| You def don't need to. I just wonder if the nephew would have been that looped in to that. I'd think they would definitely be angry about the other but I don't pretend to know that. | |

| sorry, i cant remember if it was before or after the Gershwin porgy and Bess,on bway i think either would have been sufficient' .Sondheim mentioned that all the good lyrics in Act one were the work of DuBose Heyward. at any rate, the nephew was very p.o.,d |

| The fact that the Gershwin estate decided to unequivocally shut out the massive contribution of Heyward should be literally criminal. I've never understood that decision. Sondheim was right. | |
