I don't think I ever flew so low over Flushing in Queens as landing at LaGuardia airport this afternoon in some truly nasty December weather -- sharp winds from the east, intermittent rain and near-freezing temperatures. Even my theater-going friend, a lifelong New Yorker, told me later, "We don't get many days like this." Seeing the new Sondheim, Road Show, at the Public Theater tonight was a bit of an unexpected pleaure, perhaps partly because other critics' response to the show has been so lukewarm. Hey, even minor Sondheim is still Sondheim. Michael Cerveris -- in his third Sondheim show in recent years after the Assassins and Sweeney Todd revivals -- is almost too scummy as the ne'er-do-well Wilson Mizner. A very vivid performance. Spotted on exiting the theater was theater composer Jason Robert Brown. Years ago I called him one of Sondheim's artistic grandchildren, so it was fitting to see him in attendance. I'll be seeing Mr. Brown's 13 the Musical Sunday evening. Sadly, both Road Show and 13 don't have much longer to run in New York. But I imagine theaters in Texas will be picking up both as soon as they become available.  Comments (0) Leave comment
