Has it aged the best? No. The show off of the girls is. Pretty painful, and there’s undercurrents of that objectification throughout. But set that aside, and it oozes charm and Sondheim’s classic wit. This is an early work, so the tunes, while catchy, are not standouts, and the book falls into some pratfalls. But there’s signs of his future greatness here, and the stellar cast elevate the solid material, especially Zero Mastel. In the wake of Sondheim’s passing, it’s still worth watching.
