More information about Stephen Sondheim's Old Friends on Broadway
Needing no introduction, Stephen Sondheim is one of musical theatre’s most acclaimed and Tony Award-winning composers and lyricists. His broad spectrum of work, from light-hearted farces with A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum to dark operettas with Sweeney Todd speak to his varied sensibilities and styles.
Regardless of genre, Sondheim is known for putting character first: beyond composing exquisite solos, duets, and ensemble numbers, he is adored for letting his characters figure out their emotions, motives, and futures in highly elaborate verbal musical puzzles. Sophisticated but accessible, his music has been the barometer for artistic success for generations of composers and lyricists who have followed. Now, audiences can delight in hearing his spellbinding scores sung anew at Manhattan Theatre Club’s Samuel J. Friedman Theatre this season. Bernadette Peters, long associated with Sondheim after star-making turns in Into the Woods and later Gypsy, sings alongside another highly accomplished vocalist, Lea Salonga.
