New York, March 21 – Prolific Broadway composer Stephen
Sondheim’s 75th birthday is on March 22, and celebrations
have been going on for days. Wall to Wall Sondheim was
a mere 12-hours of Broadway legends belting the master’s ditties,
and Children and Art, a benefit for Sondheim’s organization
Young Playwrights, featured folks like Barbara Cook,
Betty Buckley and Audra McDonald.
We caught up with the birthday revelers at the Four Seasons restaurant
after-party, and found that Mr. Sondheim’s turning 75 wasn’t
the only change. Dame Edna was nothing like a dame,
making a rare appearance out of drag as Barry Humphries.
And after changing her sexual orientation, it was probably a breeze
for Cynthia Nixon to go blonde. Ethan Hawke,
Anne Hathaway, Neil Patrick Harris
and Donna Murphy were all unchanged, but having
fun.
