Sondheim at his most concise?
Posted by: peter3053 01:09 pm EST 12/08/22

My sister recently said how she loved the lyric "Wishes come true, not free" in Into the Woods, for its concision.

Made me think, Sondheim never wastes a word.

What's the moment for you when he says the most in the fewest words? (And, alternatively, can you find a moment when he used an unnecessary word?)

"But alone / is alone / not alive" is pretty damn good.
