(This page has not been updated in a while, but site features have been added and updated all the same. Here is what is new in 2011.)

Reading Matter

No fewer than four books have been added to the library this year: Arthur Laurents’s Mainly on Directing, Stephen Sondheim’s Finishing the Hat, Misha Berson’s Something’s Coming, Something Good, and Nigel Simeone’s Leonard Bernstein, West Side Story. The latter has been of great help to this site in supplying fresh information for the Score section. Click Library or Score at left for info...





Happy Birthday

...Rather than clicking the Video link here, just log off and watch the terrific DVD of Sondheim’s 80th birthday concert, it is simply wonderful (and yes, the masterwork is well represented.)...





More Productions

...Since reaching the 60 mark in 2010, the site has taken on three more productions thus far, notably the long-elusive 50th anniversary production by the 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle. Click Productions for the complete list...





Et Cetera

...A favorite story of Russ Tamblyn’s has been re-told here (Click Screen Notes)…The "Relationship" Trivia Quiz has added a player (Click Trivia) and West Side Story has at long last met ABBA in another double feature (Click ABBA)…A couple of personalities have been added to the Celebrity Corner (Click Celebs), and here and there, a number of other enhancements have appeared.

As always, your host sincerely thanks you for visiting and surfing this site, and asks that you please tell a friend.

This final reminder below is not new, but it is special, and will always be available on this page FYI...
