Updated 11:26 a.m. There are four or five Stephen Sondheim revues - including the likes of "Side by Side by Sondheim" and "Putting It Together," currently performed by Porchlight Music Theatre at Theater Wit. Richard Maltby Jr. and David Shire have their own revue: "Starting Here, Starting Now," which opens Saturday at Theo Ubique in Rogers Park. Why no "Side by Side by Stephen Schwartz"?
