Attend the tale!! In 2016, The Sondheim Review published an article by our own Austin Tichenor that discussed the similarities between the Tom Jones/Harvey Schmidt musical\xa0The Fantasticks\xa0and the James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim collaborations Sunday in the Park with George\xa0and Into The Woods\xa0\u2013 and Mr. Sondheim was sorely displeased. What follows is a tale of honest curiosity; genuine repentance; possible projection; extreme umbrage; high dudgeon; missed fact-checking; lack of graciousness; sincere regret; and everlasting gratitude.
