The Sondheim Review - v2n2 (2953 words)
Furth was a Chicagoan who had attended graduate school at Columbia and worked as an actor in New York before moving to California.
Furth changed the central characters of the original 1934 Kaufman and Hart play from a playwright and a painter into a composer and a librettist who write musical comedies together.
Sondheim and Furth's ability to adopt a common verbal style and use it to express ideas that are clearly very close to their hearts and experiences shows that they truly are parallel minds who met.
