Here's a recent video of Maria Friedman recalling, to Jonathan Groff, her journey as an actress who played Mary in ''Merrily'' to directing it.
Friedman poignantly recounts Sondheim, in tears, once saying to her: ''Why doesn't everybody know all I do is write love songs?''
Friedman says that's all Sondheim wrote about: wanting love, missing love, etc. She calls ''Franklin Shepard, Inc.'' ''the greatest love song ever written.'' |
