The actual song I sang over and over again when I was twelve was "America". Both sides. I heard that argument between the adults in my life all the time, and here it was in a musical. I saw being an immigrant, saw my home community, in the song. And it led me on to so many other discoveries.
Thank you, Mr. Sondheim. For the music, for the poetry, for all the possibilities.
