The uber-exclusive (and exclusively priced) Stephen Sondheim’s Old Friends – A Celebration has set its company now, with an astounding rollcall gathering to celebrate Sondheim’s legacy at the West End theatre that now bears his name. A one-night only affair on 3rd May, the show will be staged by Matthew Bourne and Maria Friedman with choreography by Stephen Mear and a 26-piece orchestra conducted by Alfonso Casado Trigo.
All profits from the evening will go to the Stephen Sondheim Foundation.
