The world of musical theater was dealt a heavy blow this past week with the passing of Stephen Sondheim. Prolific composer and lyricist Sondheim was a much beloved giant in the bright lights of Broadway, known for his beautiful work on “West Side Story,” and “Into The Woods,” as well as “Sweeney Todd” and “A Little Night Music.”
CBS’s Sunday Morning released a recent interview legendary theater icon Patti LuPone conducted with her friend Steve. The chat was recorded back in 2020. LuPone shares her thoughts about how impactful Sondheim’s work was, and remembers him fondly.

Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
