What exactly does any of this have to do with Sondheim? Or even Weidman? These were real people way before the musical was conceived. They would have been Jewish without the musical (and the musical doesn't explore anything about their religious/ethnic identities anyway). Sondheim had nothing to do with their religions, ethnicities, or actions. They are not "HIS Jewish assassins" as your title proclaims.
And just perhaps it might be a little bit of bad taste to isolate two actual Jewish assassins (using the tenuous connection of their being portrayed in a musical theatre piece) out of nowhere, in a time when anti-Semitism is raising its ugly head so prevalently?
There could have been so many other nicer and positive ways for you to celebrate Hanukkah and Judaism through musical theatre. Shande.
And no, it's pretty clear that Sarah Jane Moore was not a "nice Jewish BOY." You watch your frazology...
But, even after all that, I wish you happy holidays. And may your future posts perhaps bring us some needed comfort and joy. (And not the kind from Bat Boy.) |
