One of the most beautifully simple, profound, honest songs ever written about marriage.
And a great production to boot.
“Nothing to do with, all to do with her” gets me every time
This never fails to make me cry. Why did Sondheim have to be such a bloody genius?
morwenmur too much truth here
RIP to the Titan, Steven Sondheim.
I love that they have sarah playing the flute with him.
Holy shit i hadnt noticed that. Now im crying lol
just been given the part of Harry for my Uni's production, and as much as I wanted Bobby, I absolutely cannot wait to sing this beautiful song...
I guess that makes me Sorry-Grateful, that or regretful-happy...
Keith is amazing. I've met and worked with him and I can't believe how phenomenal he is.
This is the first time I have ever heard this song - not much Sondheim in Australia, if you live outside Sydney that is. I've heard comment on Sorry/Grateful, usually negative, often cited as some of Sondheim's 'weak lyrics'. This song is wonderful, and must be taken in the particular vein of Sondheim's 'jaundiced & jaded' view of life. For me, Sondheim has always highlighted the banal, hopeless inanities and inequities of life - life as it really is. Schopenhauer shows that unhappiness is really our natural state, and the best that we can do is to try to reduce our misery - work to achieve enough happiness to keep us going. Stephen Sondheim taught me that, in a far less settled time of my life. The choices may have been mistaken, the choosing was not - you have to move on. Thank you, Stephen.
Thank you for this great comment. In a weird place in life and find this song relatable so I'm constantly spamming it. Never read through the comments until today. Really enjoyed your view on this. Then saw your name and instantly thought man this must be some kind of sign or me from the future lol
Bit concerned now. I have to sing this for the part of Harry tomorrow and I can't get to the end of the first verse without choking back tears.
You got this!!!
I have no idea why people go on about the 2011 NPH concert performance and how great Colbert and Cryer are. Please, watch this, get over the TV guys.
We all have our particular tastes. I appreciate the subtle facial expressions of NPH, Patti Lupone was born to play Joanne (at least since Elaine Stritch died) and I think Colbert knocks this song out of the park. That's meant to take nothing away from this version.
Hear, hear.
Playing Harry was one of my favorite roles I ever played, and this production was the one I mainly watched to prepare for the show.
I'm not married yet and am older than Bobby. This song gives me so many doubts about marriage because I'm so imperfect and don't know what my life will be like if I include another imperfect person in it.
It's simply beautiful.
It really doesn’t get much better than this. Sublime
Lovely song well-performed from our genius gift composer Sondheim.
thankyou for sharing this pure magical music.
Kieth is really really great in person
Thanks PBS!
@NateSean interesting side note, the guy given the part of Bobby ended up dropping out and I've been given the part :S but thank you for the encouragement!
i have to sing this song for my play
@TheNickKench Glad to hear it. Hopefully we get to see your production.
@Strawwbberry I know you can't always tell with actors, but that really comes across with his performance. Weirdly though, I just see him and think of Jeremy Paxman.
@TheNickKench Work with it. I wanted the part of Peter in Diary of Anne Frank, but I landed Mr. Dussel. It turned out to be a far better match.
One staple of acting. A lot of famous actors we know about today didn't get the part they originally auditioned for.
Wow how come they sing and play instruments?
1 person clearly doesn't like amazing music.
@TheNickKench
Did you have your production yet?
@MadFrananfriends I know right I sang a solo for somehing called DEP and he helped alot I coundnt have done it with out him:)
Just fyi...Michael Mayer Spring Awakening won the Tony for best direction of a musical...Doyle had won previously for Sweeney Todd.
WOuld this work well for an audition song if I'm doing another sondheim play?(specifically "Into the woods") I was looking into playing one of the princes in that production. any tips?
can u not just do agony, in our show (i was baker so im not sure about princes) i think they just auditioned with agony, but this is a good alternative
Just reading now, this was 7 years ago
@IndeeRockFan if you want your marriage to fail, sure :)
Doyle does not do the instrument things with all of his productions. I saw Sondheim's "Road Show" (formerly "Bounce" at the Public Theatre last year. Not a great show and I think Doyle's other shtick is getting old. As is the instrument thing. It worked great in Sweeney Todd and, so I hear, in Company. But I hope he finds something else!
