History Trivia / StephenSondheim

** Sondheim's collaboration with playwright David Ives based on two Creator/LuisBunuel films, ''Film/TheExterminatingAngel'' and ''Film/TheDiscreetCharmOfTheBourgeoisie''. It was rumored to be almost ready for public production in the summer of 2016 and for sometime after, but gradually reports slowed to zero. After Sondheim's death, the musical was mounted Off-Broadway under the title ''Here We Are'', after coming up with a dramatic rationale for the fact that Sondheim had completed relatively few songs for the second act.

** His last completed musical, ''Theatre/RoadShow'', ate up almost a decade and a half of his career; it was workshopped in 1998 under the title ''Wise Guys'', but was withdrawn due to CreativeDifferences and a lawsuit against the original producer. It was then heavily rewritten and produced (and even recorded) under the title ''Bounce'' in 2003, but closed out of town. Finally a smaller-scale version, ''Road Show'', made it to Off-Broadway for a short run in 2008. All three versions are different enough that they each take up a separate chapter in Sondheim's book of collected lyrics.
