A tragedy tonight! Shocked, when I shouldn't be shocked since Stephen Sondheim was 91. But still, what a tremendous loss this is! Like others, I'm gutted. R.I.P. Mr. Sondheim and thank you, thank you, thank you.

I was thinking the same thing. I remember Lisa Brown as GL's Nola and ATWT's Ida Snyder. R.I.P. Ms. Brown.

Maybe Twitter read Agatha Christie's Dead Man's Folly and wanted to make sure.
