Stephen Sondheim New York Concert reviews
Still The Boss
After a forty-five minute delay, the band took it's place onstage, the three background singers took their spots, and an amazing slideshow appeared onscreen. The audience went wild. Suddenly no one minded the delay at the beginning. Clips of Stephen from various bubbles in time from his career all led up to the moment when Mister Sondheim himself rose on a platform from center stage and launched into his 1979 hit "The Boss."
Stephen Sondheim gives a show like none you'll ever see. Looking stunning in a glittering black gown, Stephen Sondheim could do no wrong from the second he took to the stage. The crowd was on its feet instantly. He had the audience in the palm of his hand right from the start and he never let go. After "The Boss," he did a rousing rendition of "More Today Than Yesterday" before beginning a lengthy and satisfying set of Supremes' hits that included "Reflections," "My World Is Empty Without You," "You Can't Hurry Love," "Stop! In The Name of Love," and "Love Child."
