Stephen Sondheim's Old Friends, a unique event produced by Cameron Mackintosh, is a show that plays homage to Stephen Sondheim. The American composer died in November 2021, age 91.
Stephen Sondheim was undoubtedly one of the greatest American composters. Trained by Oscar Hammerstein II (Oklahoma!, The King and I, Show Boat, South Pacific, The Sound of Music), Sondheim found success writing the lyrics for West Side Story in 1957.
Recognised by his peers for his talents as a librettist, he established himself as a genius composer in the early 1960s with A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum and Gypsy. He went on to compose musicals that became world famous: Sweeney Todd, Company and Into the Woods.
Stephen Sondheim's Old Friends is an opportunity to hear the greatest songs written by Stephen Sondheim. The extracts from Sweeney Todd, Company, Into the Woods and lots of others will allow you to understand the incredible longevity of this artist and his influence on musicals.
Sondheim's masterpieces will be performed by a five-star cast and we already know this will include Bernadette Peters and Lea Salonga.
