Move On | 'Goodbye for Now' from Sondheim's Friends and Family

About this episode

In our series finale, Steve’s loved ones unite ‘one last time’ - retracing the final weeks, days and moments prior to Steve’s passing on November 26th 2021. Recalling final memories and precious encounters, we celebrate not ‘Sondheim The Icon’, but our friend Steve.   ‘I think we choose our friends. Somehow their presence in your life makes you feel good. Steve made me feel good. And when you embrace a friend, you know if the feeling is real. And I want to believe, anyway, that he knew that.’ – John Kander Steve’s legendary interpreter Bernadette Peters then joins Martin and PJ to share what Steve has meant to her – and how Steve appeared to Bernadette after his death. But how do Martin and PJ feel about Steve now that their two-year quest to discover The Untold Sondheim has finally reached its conclusion? ‘You’re always there for me. Even though you’re gone. Thank you. Thank you. For you’re always there for me.’ –  Bernadette Peters  CHAPTERS 00:00 Maria & PJ: ‘Now you’re on your own’ 02:15 A Pageantry of Celebration 06:44 Time Catches Up with Steve 15:14 The Final Meetings 27:55 ‘Titan of The American Musical’ 37:36 Missing Steve 50:22 Bernadette Peters: ‘I Had A Dream’
