RIP Marvin Hamlisch

Thank you Mr. Hamlisch, for giving us so much music.  For giving voice to our dancers with powerful, intimate, magnificent songs (some things become iconic and clichéd because they are so fucking brilliant), for expressing Sophie’s choice in a way that words never could.  Thank you.  We will forever be playing your songs.
