[Jon's answering machine gets a message]
Jonathan Larson : [singing on voicemail] Speak!
Stephen Sondheim : [on message] Jon? Steve Sondheim here. Rosa gave me this number, I hope it's okay to call you. I didn't get a chance to speak with you after the reading, but I just wanted to say it was really good. Congratulations. I'd love to get together and talk to you about it, if you have any interest. No pressure. The main thing though, is that it's first-rate work and has a future. And so do you. I'll call you later with some thoughts, if that's okay. Meanwhile, be proud.
