Gaga to Sing From Sondheim's(The one who shaded her) Newest at the Tonys

[700guns 16]

Lady Gaga will be introducing two songs from the score ofStephen Sondheim and David Ives' new musical in development at the 2015 Tony Awards. The untitled musical is based on a pair films by Spanish director Luis Buñuel, The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (1972) and The Exterminating Angel (1962).

Sondheim was recently quoted in a Times of Londoninterview, calling Lady Gaga's Academy Awards performance of a medley of songs from The Sound of Music "a travesty," noting that "she had no relationship to what she was singing."

"Yeah, I was running at the mouth a little during that interview," the 85-year-old musical theatre legend explained. "Like I said in Sondheim On Sondheim I drink while I'm writing lyrics and I had just spent a full day trying to come up with an internal rhyme for 'bourgeoisie.' I'm not in my 30s anymore. Brilliance like 'personable/coercin' a bull' doesn't just pop out after one chardonnay these days."

It was Sondheim's partner, Jeff Romley, a huge Gaga fan, who arranged for a meeting between the two at Bar Centrale.

"Like I said in the Times, Jeff and I don't exactly share a taste in music. Once he called me his Little Monster at a very inappropriate moment and I nearly kicked him out of the house."

"We had a nice chat," says Lady Gaga. "He didn't exactly apologize, but I know what Oscar Hammerstein meant to him and I'm sure he's very protective of the man's legacy. So he tells me he's working on a new one and I ask if there's anything for me in it. Just a joke. Next thing I know I'm agreeing to sing a couple on the Tony Awards."

"I made a quick call right there," explains the composer/lyricist. "I can still do that. 'This is Sondheim. I got Gaga and I need 6 minutes on the Tonys.' Done."

Though Lady Gaga would not discuss the possibility of starring in a full production of the musical, currently referred to under its working title, Surrealist Foreigners Singing, Sondheim is open to the idea of have a world-famous pop star in his cast.

"Looking back, I haven't exactly been a hit machine like my buddy Andy in London. Being an artistic god is great but it doesn't buy you a swimming pool and a guy can get by only so long on the royalties from high school productions ofWest Side Story."
