A Son of the Rock

Musical theatre isn’t really my thing but I knew that Stephen Sondheim who died in late November was a giant in the field. I’d been aware of him as a lyricist from West Side Story and knew he had subsequently written many musicals on his own.

Send in the Clowns (from A Little Night Music) is perhaps a masterpiece but I like this 1989 Pet Shop Boys influenced version of Losing My Mind, a song which first appeared in Sondheim’s musical Follies in 1971.
