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.
