Losing My Mind: A Sondheim Disco Fever Dream
“Not since “The Ethel Merman Disco Album” have Broadway showtunes been delivered in such a peculiarly delicious fashion. Please accept this as an enthusiastic recommendation to purchase this recording. Do so with an open mind and a clear understanding that, even though Sondheim’s brilliant lyrics might feel odd in such a setting (at first), you will have a groovy time and delight in the clever arrangements that spin his beloved music into danceable, pulse-raising fun. Whether you are an ardent Sondheim fan, a collector of camp, or simply can’t get enough disco in your life, “Losing My Mind: A Sondheim Disco Fever Dream” will most assuredly find a special place in your music collection.
Now… can we please have a sequel?” —Mark Robinson
