Hi Kyle. Found you here through the GUT. Beautiful writing! I'm a musician and have been a Sondheim fan since high school (early 2000s) when I bought Company on CD and listened to it over and over on my discman. I only discovered Merrily about ten years later in my late twenties and it hit me over the head with its truth and beauty. My husband and I watched a filmed theatre production from London (circa 2012?) and not knowing the story, I sat there after Our Time and bawled. (Also i assume youve seen the film doc about its creation? So good!) Didn't know there was a new recording so I'm off to listen to it! I love your story of coming out and transitioning, thank you for sharing this.🧡 I'm in Canada and I feel somewhat protected from all of the anti-trans rhetoric and policies in the US, but there are politicians here with similar views and I know that protection is super-fragile and I need to pay attention.

“...life is nothing but transitions. Life is nothing without transitions.” Thank you for marking this truth and beauty.
