Sondheim forever (in a discussion of Sweeney Todd, Merrily and Here We Are)

Most of Stephen Sondheim’s musicals were marginal financial successes or outright flops in their original productions. But in this second post-Sondheim year, it’s been hit after hit...

Then, in the fall, came the gleaming Broadway transfer of “Merrily We Roll Along” from New York Theater Workshop. After what seemed like zillions of attempts by many hands to fix that 1981 show, the director Maria Friedman figured it out, locating its long-lost core in Jonathan Groff’s mesmerizing, furious performance. (He’d make a great Sweeney.)

like this man essentially started his career playing one of the most iconic franchise protagonists ever for almost TEN YEARS - I mean he’d practically spent half his life in that role by the time the movies were over, and you would think that would set him off on a path to be kind of typecast as The Hero or like a great protagonist for a long time or something 

and the funniest thing is, that he DID get typecast, but in like the complete opposite direction

like you look at him now and pretty much for the past six years or so this man has played approximately one character and it’s “Funky Little Nerd Who is Definitely Going About This the Wrong Way”
