Putting It Together

I Guess This is Goodbye is a short song about saying goodbye to your best cow. Maybe They're Magic explicitly shows the difference in worldview between the Baker and his wife. Nathan Beary Blustein returns to dig into how these songs fit musically into the score and what they say about the characters.

What is Putting It Together?

This is a podcast about Stephen Sondheim's entire body of work show by show and song by song. Each week Kyle Marshall invites an expert to discuss a Sondheim song in-depth. Together they discover the humour, how the songs inform character, and any hidden meanings. Most importantly they try to understand the man behind the music, the Shakespeare of our time, as best they can.
