This week we are joined by Sarah Zed as we drink to the 2006 Broadway production of Sondheim's 1970 breakout hit. Angelina recounts her days as a child director, Sarah ponders the queer subtext, and Kaveh feels personally attacked by the show about a guy in his mid 30s who has dragged his feet on getting married.
