Love is in the Air (Cut from A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, 1962)
Stephen Sondheim |
1:04 |
Following the triumph of Old Friends at the 2023 WhatsOnStage Awards where it won the Best Theatre Event Award, and the unforgettable all-star gala performance to celebrate the life and work of the great Stephen Sondheim at the theatre named after him in May 2022, Stephen Sondheim's Old Friends, devised and produced by Cameron Mackintosh, is now released as a live album!
Old Friends' all-star cast includes Bernadette Peters and Lea Salonga. Co-stars include several of the fabulous Gala company, including Christine Allado, Janie Dee, Bonnie Langford and Jeremy Secomb, among others. The thrilling, joyously staged Gala of Stephen Sondheim’s Old Friends sold out within a couple of hours last year leaving thousands of disappointed fans unable to get tickets, so a simultaneous screening took place at the Prince Edward Theatre. Now by popular demand, audiences will have a chance to experience the never to be forgotten and one of the most talked about theatrical events of the year.
