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.
👋 GUT friend! I'm overdue for watching the doc—thank you for the reminder. I'm a sucker for a process story, even more so if it involves theater. Hopefully you all will be spared this latest ring wing wave.

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