From The New York Post: “Coming next year is a documentary on Steven (sic) Sondheim. James Lapine of “Sunday in the Park With George” exec-produces. Material is on Sondheim’s life, fresh interviews he’s not given before, videos and new versions of his songs. Mr. Sondheim’s given it his blessing.”
Good news; shame Cindy Adams can’t spell Stephen Sondheim’s name correctly.
