As for the official Topic of the Day, I would love to have seen/been part of the development of
Wise Guys /
Gold /
Bounce and to see what's still to come. Starting back in the 1950s when both Irving Berlin and Stephen Sondheim (separately?) got the idea for a show based on the Mizner's lives, all the way through the infamous Sam Mendes workshop, the production that was eventually recorded as
Bounce and into the future, since Sondheim has said that he and John Weidman continue to work on it and are going back to what
they want to do with the show. I have a (shhh...don't tell anyone
) bootleg recording of the Mendes workshop and I thoroughly enjoy it. I must admit (and I'm sure that it's abundantly clear) that I have no idea what makes a "good" show, but knowing how it all developed and where it's going it incredibly fascinating to me.
