The perception of Sondheim as a writer of "sweetly laconic cynicism" (as Clive Barnes wrote in The New York Times) was fed by post-"Follies" cabaret acts and revues (including "Side by Side by Sondheim," which was on Broadway in 1977 when I first moved to New York) that emphasized his supreme, stinging wit.

In the 1980s, when the radical policies of the '70s were replaced by Reaganomics and the conservatism of Margaret Thatcher in the U.K., we got Christian Lacroix's archaic follies of crinolines and corsets, and the anarchic vibrancy of a nightclub scene that gave birth to Leigh Bowery in London and, later, to New York's club kids.
