Sondheimania!

July 3, 2012.By Chris Hewitt, Pioneer Press.

I’m sure this is just a coinkydink but get this:

Two months ago, I noticed that two theaters are doing Stephen Sondheim shows this year. I’m a huge Sondheim fan and in the newspaper world, three things equals a trend, so I was on the hunt for a third Sondheim.  I jokingly emailed Theater Latte Da, which seemed like the likeliest place for another Sondheim to emerge, jokingly requesting that they announce a Sondheim title for their next season.

This just in: Theater Latte Da is doing “Company,” Sondheim’s landmark ’70s musical, starting in October.  The others: “Sunday in the Park with George” opens at Bloomington Civic Theatre in October and “Into the Woods” at Theater Mu later this month.
