How cool is this? My all-time favorite composer, Stephen Sondheim, is gonna have a NYC revival of his groundbreaking musical, Company, featuring Neil Patrick Harris, Patti LuPone and…Stephen Colbert!
“Company” was the first Broadway show I ever saw on Broadway, in 1972. I was just blown away and have been a lifelong Sondheim fan ever since.
Colbert will play the part of Harry. Harry is featured in this song, “Sorry/Grateful”, one of the most moving and insightful songs ever written about marriage. This clip is from a spectacular 2006 revival of ‘Company’ in which the stage performers double as the musicians:

Geez, I can’t believe that Colbert is gonna bleeping do Sondheim!
