…and this podcast does not miss a single one of them. I am so glad I’ve discovered Kyle when he was a guest on Broadway Breakdown with Matt Koplik. Kyle’s podcast is so detailed and meticulous—every lyric, every word of Sondheim scores are explored and examined with an array of terrific guests....Read full review »

This is the podcast I’ve been looking for my whole life (or at least as long as podcasts have existed). Even as a Sondheim mega-fan, I come away from each episode with new info or a new perspective on the brilliance of his lyrics.

Kyle is a fantastic host, passionate about his subject, each episode so entertaining and informative. He brings in a different guest...Read full review »

Nothing has satisfied my need to obsess over Sondheim like this show.

I love learning all the little tidbits of info about Sondheim’s body of work! Kyle presents a well prepared and well articulated analysis of each detail of each of Sondheim’s songs, bit by bit. I love listening to the thought processes and opinions from Kyle and his guests, as they present the...Read full review »

If you love the plays of Stephen Sondheim and his collaborators, as I do, it is likely because they are so rich and complex and thought-provoking. Seeing one the first time leaves you fascinated but unsatisfied, with a hunger to understand more, to work out how this intricate tapestry works. How...Read full review »

Kyle Marshall’s “Putting it Together” is an absolute delight for any Stephen Sondheim fan. The guests are terrific and bring a lot to the table, the deep dives into every Sondheim song and the glorious spin-offs and occasional tangents into all things Sondheim-related are an absolute blast....Read full review »

Count me in. The young “self-described “ expert host is so sincere in his love for the work that it’s positively contagious. This show is for the deep diver, not the casual listener, and it’s a pleasure to find people who feel as I do about The Master. Thrilled to find this dissertation-worthy...Read full review »

I was so excited to discover this podcast a few weeks ago. It’s a brilliant conceit, and I hope that someday a podcast follows this model while making use of professional artists, critics and scholars. In the meantime, if you are interested in the ramblings of random millennials - (grad students,...Read full review »

I’d often heard good things about this podcast through Twitter and just hadn’t managed to find time to start listening. With the recent sad news of Stephen’s death I’d been playing some of the cast recordings over and started listening to this podcast, starting off with a show that I know. I’m...Read full review »

My main criticism is that I just discovered this.
Dr. Bucephalus via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/05/21
I really appreciate this podcast! The host is great but I wish the guests were composers, playwrights, performers, etc.

Kyle, my sincerest apologies for waiting until I heard of the news of Sondheim’s passing and listening to your touching memorial to Stephen to say what an amazing gift your podcast has been, made even more poignant by the pandemic of the past two years and counting. Thank you so much for the...Read full review »

Do you like Sondheim? If so, you had better get on this NOW. This incredible podcast is the deepest of dives into Sondheim’s intricacies and idiosyncrasies. Kyle has some great guests, and really shines light on the incredibly detailed and delightful lyrics that Sondheim gives us. Bravo Kyle!!

I just discovered this podcast and can’t believe you exist! Someone I can nerd out with regarding Sondheim musicals. It doesn’t get any better than this. I think you’ve made my whole year! Thank you so much for your insight, knowledge, love, and care in spreading the wonders of Sondheim.

I was SO excited to find a podcast dedicated to Sondheim! Season one was a blast and so informative and season two just had me thrilled, my favorite show of all time-Gypsy- so this was going to be excellent... until the repetition kicked in... and the wrong facts and tidbits. I found myself...Read full review »

Your guest tend to a little whiny and white. A singer would give a prospective you don’t seem to possess. I enjoy the format of your podcast, I’ll just fast forward through some of the patter/chatter. Regards

Excellent podcast where the host and guest analyze each song of every Sondheim musical

Podcast gets better and better! A deep dive into every Sondheim show
amity1976 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/24/20
I love listening to Kyle and whoever guest is on go really deep into these songs and shows, my favourite so far are Company and A Little Night Music is shaping up to be a great one. Also really looking forward to Into the Woods, Sweeny Todd and Assassins.
smithy251 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/21/20
Has a podcast ever attempted to go through an artist’s ENTIRE body of work? This is a herculean attempt to break down all of Sondheim’s work song by song, and Kyle (and his guests) mostly get things right. A must for every Sondheim fan!
mikeson418 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 12/19/20
For fans of musical theatre in general, this is a great podcast. Each guest brings a different perspective which complements Kyle’s steady infusion of insight and analysis. Each episode can stand alone, but there’s a wonderful cumulative effect that builds over the course of a season. Highly...Read full review »

As someone who has searched for years for a podcast dedicated to the musical theatre Shakespeare, Stephen Sondheim, it has been wonderful to find that one has been created. Kyle’s care and the detail he puts into each episode ensures that each song gets there due diligence. This is not a podcast...Read full review »

This podcast is one of my favorite things in the world right now. It’s extremely well done. If you haven’t been listening, you don’t have to start from the beginning, but you really should go back and listen to everything. It’s well worth your time.

If you’re a Sondheim fan, you’ll love this! I’ve been a Sondheim fanatic for decades and was ecstatic when I discovered this podcast just a few weeks ago.

As a Sondheim fanatic this is my jam!
radical_alex via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/14/20
Absolutely love listening to the discussions about each individual song from a show at length. Have shared with a few Facebook groups as more Sondheim fans should be aware of this! Can’t wait for the Pacific Overtures series!
Fitzy3221 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/28/20
I’ve been digging into Sondheim’s work for the first time during quarantine and I just saw the filmed 2006 version of Company with Raul Esparza. I loved it. I’ve been wanting to talk to someone about Sondheim generally and Company in particular but no one in my life is really into musicals. So...Read full review »

Kyle and his guests offer insightful looks into the works of the musical theatre GOAT, in an unpretentious, conversational way that you’ll find engaging whether you’re a Sondheim fanatic or not!
mrswillshakes via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/12/20
It took me a while to get into Sondheim because his songs and shows can be rather sense, but I love the approach Kyle takes with going through line by line to uncover different meanings, and it gets even more interesting when they're meanings I hadn't considered before! I'm definitely...Read full review »
crsyen via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/07/20
This is my new favorite podcast. What I love about it is that the hosts take a critical look at the lyrics of a Sondheim show and get into analysis without ever criticizing the work or acting like they know better or know all the answers. The host doesn’t just pretend to know everything he thinks...Read full review »

I love these—I wish there were more. After seeing the new production of WSS in previews (Dec 10, 2019—I live in NYC) I want to hear Kyle’s & his guests’ knowledgable take on it.

From first seeing Into the Woods performed at the Sydney Opera House, and watching Mrs Lovett thrown into the oven at the now demolished Her Majesty’s Theatre I have had a passion for Sondheim.
