Steve’s presence and reputation seemed to bring theatrical giants to their knees ... but was this label as a scary intellectual really warranted? Join Sondheim’s chum Martin Milnes and Steve’s first love Peter E. Jones for a unique investigation. With the aid of a glittering cast – including Patti LuPone, Mia Farrow, Christine Baranski, Maria Friedman, Adam Guettel, Ronan Farrow and Dame Judi Dench – can Martin and PJ solve the Sondheim mysteries which for decades have baffled and been misunderstood? “His being socially uncomfortable would read to people as if he was mean, or off-putting. It was never that. He just wasn’t a mean guy. The most talented people are the least mean.” – Adam Guettel\nWhy did Steve object to Mia’s striped socks? How did Christine overcome her fear of singing in front of Steve? And what answers can PJ provide Patti about her bumpy moments with Sondheim ‘The Genius’? “But can I just tell you one thing, now that Steve has passed, that has people laughing their ass off?” – Patti LuPone\nCHAPTERS:\n00:00 Christine Baranski: ‘That’s what it meant to me’05:06 ‘Intimidating’ & ‘Prickly’: Debating The Myth11:25 Andre, Maria & Frank: Understanding Steve\n17:31 The Cocktail Party & Adam’s Callers22:53 Steve & Mary and Mia’s Socks26:22 Rivalries: Menotti, Lenny and Gilbert30:43 Introducing Laurence Guittard32:08 Steve & Larry: ‘An unanswerable question’43:57 In Praise of ‘Winterset’ 49:24 Patti LuPone: ‘Steve Sondheim is yelling at me!’1:00:26 A Black Onyx Heart: Our Investigation Concludes Subscribe to Loving You: The Untold Sondheim on Apple and all good podcast apps to get every episode the moment it is released.\n SUPPORT THE SHOW:► SUBSCRIBE to Loving You: The Untold Sondheim in your podcast app and be sure to get every episode the moment it is released.► RATE & REVIEW Leave a review in your podcast app and tell other Sondheim fans why they should listen.► SHARE Don't keep it...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/zP5_cuxuiOaG_i1deuJeeuRjWBtyO03n8hVTNEZ8zN8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9hNzZk/MzUwMjM1NzUxYzc5/OWNhMmE1MmI1MzEy/ZWZkYi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
