I have forgotten a very important contribution of Sondheim to JAY’s Complete Recording of ANYONE CAN WHISTLE.
I was going to write the Synopsis of the 3 Acts version for the Booklet and struggled to find a cohesive way to convey the plot and essence of the Masterwork. I mentioned it to Steve and to my delight and surprise he volunteered immediately to write it, provided that he remained “anonymous”, as he has never done so for any other recordings or production programmes. He told me that he loved the recording so much that he wanted to ensure that it got the best support from him….hence the Synopsis and the amazing and unbelievable voluntary public “Endorsement” that he gave to the Recording.
So, for anyone who are still confused by the plot of ANYONE CAN WHISTLE, Sondheim’s own words of the plot and essence of it, can be read in the Booklet of JAY’s Complete Recording of it. 🤗
On that comment about Trump, Steve had initial reservations on the Booklet Introduction highlighting the similarities between Cora and Trump, but ultimately decided to approve it for publication. 🤗

Congratulations to Maria Friedman on her conquest of Broadway as a First ranked Director of the Musical Theatre with the current production of MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG.
I am proud and privileged to have recorded Maria in so many iconic roles in the Complete Recordings of these Masterworks (and a couple of Lloyd Webber songs) for JAY.
It is thrilling to witness the transition of a brilliant Musical Theatre actress to a brilliant Musical Theatre Director.
Bravo!!!
