| From Cinco Paul's recent interview about ''Schmigadoon!'' at TV Insider.com: Sondheim is one of Paul’s biggest inspirations. Sadly, he never got to meet the legendary music man before his death in November 2021, nor did Bacharach — who died in February 2023 — get to hear the songs inspired by his work. But there are Broadway legends who tune in. “It was so sad to me” that he never got to meet Sondheim, Paul says. “I don’t know if he would’ve watched our show. He was not much of a TV watcher, I heard. But boy, I would’ve loved him to have heard some because that was the biggest challenge for me and sort of the honor, you know? He’s the greatest of all time, and so I wish he could have heard these. I wish Burt Bacharach could have heard the song that’s his.” ″But Stephen Schwartz ['Wicked,' 'Pippin'] is with us,” he adds. “He’s a fan of the show, and I hear that Andrew Lloyd Webber ['The Phantom of the Opera,' 'Cats,' and 'Jesus Christ Superstar'] is actually a fan of the show, so I’m excited for him to watch this season.” In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Paul addresses LuPone's claim that she was told she was too old to be on ''Schmigadoon!'': ''We were unaware of any such comments of this nature and have discussed directly with Patti. She is a legend and it would be an honor to work with her.'' |
