Earlier today, the Broadway crowd got very excited for a few precious minutes. On Twitter came the news that an unproduced show by the late Stephen Sondheim was coming next year starring Bernadette Peters and Nathan Lane.
In the Broadway world, that’s like saying Tom Brady would be playing baseball in the NFL off-season.
Anyway, it’s not true. The show, called “Square One,” was never officially finished and doesn’t exist. It’s a hoax. But the Twitter account picked up over 500 followers instantly. The tip-off should have been that @SquareOne followed no other accounts.
The hoaxer’s video is below, followed by the announcement. If anyone knows who this person is, let me know at showbiz411@gmail.com
