Here's some scoop on Desperate Housewives from this week's (Posted on 4/17/12) Ask Ausiello column.
Question: Any Desperate Housewives series finale scoop? —Sam
Ausiello: How about the title of the swan song? Sources confirm to me exclusively that the May 13 series finale is called, “Finishing the Hat,” a nod to the Stephen Sondheim ditty from the musical Sunday in the Park With George. (It was also the title the iconic lyricist used for his 2010 memoir.) The song “describes detail by detail the exhilarating, frustrating, fulfilling and unsatisfying business of creating a piece of art,” New York Times theater critic Ben Brantley once wrote. Pop quiz: Is DH ending with a big, old-fashioned musical number, or is series creator Marc Cherry just a big Sondheim enthusiast? The answer is coming up!
***Desperate Housewives quiz answer: It’s the latter. In fact, Cherry has named many a DH episode after a Sondheim song. Thanks for playing!***
