    I saw a comment on another tribute video to Sondheim, which completely broke me: 'Now there's another giant in the sky.' It could not be more true. Thank you Sondheim. May you rest in peace. Your debt to Oscar has been paid.

    This is only the smallest sliver of his legacy, contained in Times Square for this specific point in time.

      Especially given Sondheim's acknowledgment that he wrote "Sunday" with an intentional funeral march quality to it... it's hard to imagine a more perfect choice for the occasion.

    Three months after this soul-searing memorial, I was in New York, staying at the Renaissance Times Square Hotel, which is right around the corner from the site of this film. The morning we left, I walked to the foot of the statue, early in the morning, and played this video -- my own farewell to Steve. (I can't begin to think of him as "Mr. Sondheim".) Having seen the original Broadway production of "Sunday in the Park With George" back in 1984, I felt doubly close to him. My own private valedictory to a genius, which I will never forget.

    I got it, I love it, but this is from a year ago, Nov 2019. Find the one from yesterday, and you'll see much more chaos, a much larger crowd, and an overpowering amount of emotion.
    Not saying this isn't lovely, just that Sunday has been sunny more than once, and this is from another time.

    • @mocktrialbabe
      @mocktrialbabe 2 года назад +1

      What ? This matches to the one posted with lin. Also people in the audience are masked. If this was last year the actors would have been masked. ( they are all vaxed and tested 3 times a week if working) and if it was prepandemic then no one would be wearing a mask.

    • @MyBodyisRidley

    • @seanroark343
      @seanroark343 2 года назад

      Okay. It looks a lot like the one they did at the beginning of the outbreak, with a smaller well rehearsed ensemble. This video seems to have about 80 people on the risers, where yesterday it looked like a couple of hundred.
      Anyway, it's all good. Both times were about coming together and showing how performing folks do what they do. Both remind me of Mr. S.
      I'm sorry he's gone, but choose to dwell on how grateful I am that he was here.

      That’s the statue of Father Duffy. He is noted for serving in the Spanish-American war and World War I and the section of Times Square is named after him.
