Bernadette Peters is set to make her long-awaited UK stage debut alongside Lea Salonga, Janie Dee, Bonnie Langford, Jeremy Seacombe, and a host of musical theatre's brightest and best in this final collaboration between Cameron Mackintosh and the late American theatre master Stephen Sondheim. Following on from the pair's other shows (Side-by-Side-by-Sondheim, 1976 and Putting It Together, 1992) Old Friends will be an in-depth revue featuring some of Sondheim's greatest songs, performed by the very best talents.
First seen in a highly esteemed concert gala staging back in May 2022 and subsequently broadcast on the BBC, Old Freinds' return offers fans 16 weeks of shows, with performances beginning on September 21st. Additional cast set to appear are Beatrice Penny-Tour, Joanna Riding, Christine Allado, Jac Yarrow and many more stars. So Sondheim fans, don't miss out - we predict this will sell like Mrs. Lovett's meat pies!
