Sondheim is overrated


Oh let's put some sentences that rhyme together, have actors that can't sing deliver the lines like they're talking, and wow, I'm a genius. Boring. Man should be scrubbing toilets for a living rather than spreading sound pollution.

You musical analysis is staggering.

I guess you don't realize that Sondheim had nothing to do with the casting of the movie and also, the rhyming and singing is actually a thing. It's called writing a musical.

Victims, aren't we all?

Actually, Sondheim had to approve all casting as part of his allowing Burton to direct. So, FAIL.

Approving casting is different than actually doing the legwork and doing auditions. Producers and investors approve casting too, that doesn't mean they get credit for actually casting a role.

Take for instance, Burton had to send Sondheim 10 cds of HBC singing before Sondheim gave the ok for her to be in the movie.
