This was the video that really made me take notice of Sondheim. I loved how the complexity and wit of the scene still comes through performed by these slightly mediocre students (except for the girl playing Amy - his creepy little face when she starts singing is so precious) and I also admire him for being very exacting about how his music should be performed (like pronunciation and who people should be addressing etc.).
AND CAN I JUST MENTION HIS FACE AGAIN

I’m actually in love with Steve. And Company. Why has he never directed…?
Paul looks like he still sucks on a pacifier and eats liquidized vegetables. AND SONDHEIM’S FACE OMG AND WHEN DID...
SONDHEIM
Brilliant. Also someone please bring SondheimCreepyFace.gif into existence. Thank-you in advance.
