Starring Bernadette Peters and Lea Salonga! Sondheim's Old Friends was a true smash-hit success during its 2023 West End run, selling out quicker than Mrs. Lovett's meat pies! A tribute concert of all tribute concerts devised by Cameron Mackintosh and presented with Mackintosh and Daryl Roth. Old Friends is an in-depth revue of Sondheim's greatest songs, performed by the very best talents, and featuring elements from Out Of The Woods, Sweeney Todd, and many more from the Sondheim scrapbook!
Returning to the spotlight are Bernadette Peters and Lea Salonga, reprising their roles from the triumphant 2023 West End run. This LA run is the production's North America debut before transferring to Broadway's Samuel J. Friedman Theatre, hosted by Manhattan Theatre Club on Broadway, starting in March 2025.
Old Friends is directed by Matthew Bourne, known for his acclaimed reimaginings of classics such as Sleeping Beauty and Edward Scissorhands. Joining him is Julia McKenzie, a BAFTA-nominated actress and director. The choreography will be handled by Stephen Mear.
