Sondheim's Old Friends has returned to the West End after a small gala performance last year. Now, with Bernadette Peters and Lea Salonga hosting, it is a complete spectacle. Here is my complete ramble about why I loved this concert.

I’m only two and a half minutes into your interview and I believe you - this is a show that is not to be missed. Which is why I’m flying from NY to London for just a few days in order to see this show twice!!!

I really enjoyed seeing Stephen Sondheim’s Old Friends at the Gielgud Theatre in London on Wednesday 27th September and it was absolutely fantastic

Just watching your review, not even halfway of it, had already made me yell, "take my money! Take my money!"

I won't be able to see this (but thank you for the note about the recorded version!) and listening to you rave about it and Sondheim brought me so much joy.

I’m gonna go see it in a month! My favorite Sondheim show is Company I think, although Anyone Can Whistle and Follies have are closer runner ups

Hello Ellie! Greetings from Downunder-Perth, Western Australia! I was introduced to you by Mickey Jo theatre. You guys complement each other well.

I love your enthusiasm in this review! To answer your question, up until recently I would have said my favorite Sondheim musical is Sweeney Todd (particularly with Denis Quilley), but I was lucky enough to see the US tour of Into the Woods this summer, so I think we have a tie.

Saw this today. Brilliant show. Lea Salonga was everything and more than I expected her to be. Everyone was excellent except for Bernadette Peters. On this showing don't understand why she has won so many awards.

Bernadette is 75 years old. I don’t think many artists are at the same level at 75 as in younger years (when she won all her awards).

It’s hard to pick a favorite Sondheim show, but I would probably have to saw Sweeney Todd.

I watched the gala concert, I remember there being so many romantic songs which makes me turn off a bit. I do like several sondheim songs though The gala performance had Michael ball 🤢 Didn’t like him, sorry. Contemplating going to see it. Is it different from the gala concert
