PATRICK MARMION: Gloating may be ostentious, but Terry Gilliam has unquestionably earned the right to crow about Stephen Sondheim's sensational new production. The Monty Python legend was found guilty of transphobic thought crimes by the politically correct Stasi who directed the performance, but it was insufficiently supportive of the #MeToo campaign. It's also a relief to learn that artistic merit can still rule over small minds. Gilliam's debut is the sweetest revenge, and for sheer spectacle, it is a peach. Sondheim followers who are not ruled by their political orthodoxy will flock to see it, but the rest of us will find it safe.
