Waiting on Wednesday: Aug. 17

For the Waiting on Wednesday blog:

"Look, I Made a Hat" by Stephen Sondheim: The promised follow-up to "Finishing the Hat," which I received for Christmas last year, will be published Nov. 22. Sondheim will publish his lyrics for shows after "Merrily" as well as his work for film and television. The book promises to include his many reworkings of "Road Show," the musical he's been working on for nearly 20 years, as well as "Passion" and "Sunday in the Park With George." It's hard to read lyrics whose tunes are unfamiliar, but he includes many theatrical reminiscences and rants as well.
