Stephen Sondheim’s last work is a rollicking musical—for the act that he probably wrote
NON-FINITO art can be arresting. Think of a delicate sculpture protruding from a monolith or a swathe of bare canvas in an otherwise detailed painting. Such artworks give the viewer pause. Did the creator intend the effect or simply stop halfway through? “Here We Are” is one such puzzle. Stephen Sondheim, an American composer, had been working on the musical on and off for years alongside David Ives, a playwright, and Joe Mantello, a director.
Gustav Klimt died in 1918 before he could finish “The Bride”, so some figures have the Austrian artist’s signature look and others are outlines. In neither case does it matter much. The stories in “The Canterbury Tales” stand alone. The gaps left by Klimt can be filled in by the imagination. Some find the lack of closure unsatisfying, however, and attempt to finish a piece on an artist’s behalf.
