It's ridiculous how many great songs Neil Diamond wrote.  Including several made famous by others, like "I'm A Believer."

I just went down a Sondheim rabbit hole because of looking up the image for the famous painting "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte." 

The original Broadway cast for Sunday In The Park With George is of course iconic, featuring Bernadette Peters and probably my favorite male vocalist of all time, Mandy Patinkin. 

But I stumbled across this duet that was recorded in the midst of the pandemic, and I have to say I'm really surprised at how well Jake Gyllenhall sings the part of George.  He sounds almost identical to a young Mandy Patinkin, it's remarkable.

Edit: I should add that Annaleigh Ashford carries this song and has an extraordinary voice, but I was already well aware of her singing chops, she's a regular on Broadway who has won a Tony.

I could go for days on Sondheim.

My 16yo daughter's concert band is playing a medley from Into The Woods.  Of course she is familiar with it, because I'm an awesome dad who made sure she was raised knowing all of the best musicals.

But I was surprised when she told me most of her band peers have no idea what it is.  Just tonight they got together to watch the movie version, because so many of them were clueless.

It's pretty densely packed with great songs, but I have to say this one really cracks me up every time:

This is another one that's hard to get right. The interplay between characters comes quickly and off rhythm. Of course, then there's Bernadette Peters just generally putting everyone in their place:

Bernadette Peters is just masterful in pretty much everything she's ever done.
