SONGS BY STEPHEN SONDHEIM Conceived and Developed by Craig Lucas & Norman Rene. Co-Produced with Jason Marc-Williams.
A charming and bittersweet musical revue that features songs by Stephen Sondheim, the undisputed master of the contemporary Broadway musical. Two single strangers, left alone in their studio apartments on a Saturday night, pass their time with sweetly secret, unshared fantasies, never knowing that they’re just a floor away from each other and the end of their lonely dreams. Together, they breathe new theatrical life and meaning into a collection of trunk songs that were culled from the final productions of Anyone Can Whistle, Follies, Company, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum and A Little Night Music. A must for Sondheim aficionados. Tickets £16, Concessions £14 When it is confirmed that distancing restrictions are lifted, the full house will be made available for even if restrictions are lifted, for those who would find that more comfortable.
