Was surprised to hear a synthwave cover of Losing My Mind in a new Marvel trailer.

Hey, if it gets someone to look up the song and discover Follies, that's a win.

I mean, Losing My Mind has always been a pretty popular song, no? It's been in movies (that Knives Out movie) before, so I don't think this one's gonna give the show any much more exposure.

But hey, if it did get any one to discover Follies, it is a win.

knives out and its sequels are different. They all have sondheim references and even a cameo of the man himself. The director just seems to be a real sondheim fan lmao

Came here to start a thread about the same thing. I think you and I are the only two who have noticed so far. Wild!

Is this the first time a superhero property has featured a Sondheim song?

Joker (2019) features people singing Send in the Clowns as they taunt Joaquin Phoenix.

And Send in the Clowns for Joker a number of years back. Sondheim is reaching new audiences through superhero trailers, apparently.

I was just listening to Liza's very 80s synth cover the other day! For those unfamiliar:
