What I liked
Chromolume Theatre returns to the Hollywood Fringe Festival in 2025 for the first time in seven years with another intimate one-act musical. This charming and bittersweet revue features a collection of Stephen Sondheim’s “trunk songs” — pieces cut from the final productions of Anyone Can Whistle, Follies, Company, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, and A Little Night Music. Set in a couple’s modest studio apartment on a Saturday night, the show unfolds as they pass time with tender, secret, and unshared fantasies. A must for Sondheim aficionados, the production is smart, funny, sophisticated, and deeply moving — offering a fascinating glimpse into “the songs that got away.”
