"We were just in time to enjoy Old Friends with Bernadette Peters and Lea Solanga before it ends it run on Broadway.
We felt we were enjoying multiple musicals in one afternoon. The scenery and costumes enriched the songs from Into the Woods, Sweeney Todd and many more.
Being long time fans of both the Bernadette and Lea, we weren’t disappointed in their endless energy and talent.
We do need to give kudos also to all the extremely talented actors and dancers who kept the show first rate!"

I have seen many Bway shows but none compare to this one.
"The talent on stage was amazing. Their portrayal of each of Sondheim’s songs brought back fond memories of his shows. The man was a brilliant talent!
Not many shows get a 10 minute standing ovation at the end The set was also well done"

Perfect for Sondheim Fans
"I loved the numbers they selected and the amazing talent of the people who performed them. Though the originals I have heard were ones I thought could never be equaled, I was astonished to hear new interpretations that were just as compelling. Seeing the genuine love Bernadette Peters has for Sondheim was so touching."

Bernadette and Lea , Who could ask for any thing More!
"It was a pleasure to see Bernadette and Lea effortlessly perform the Stephen Sondheim classics of the many shows of his that I’ve seen. It was magically entertaining and I had a smile on my face practically the whole time. I also have to comment on how great the lighting was absolutely fantastic for the show! The spotlights shown bright just at the right moments during this very special evening. I’m glad I got to see this limited run."

Great Review of SS's work!
"Great show for theatre lovers! Not for those who don't know many SS songs or theatre history (spouses, children) who will be bored. First act amazing, second act a little slow-- Lots of ballads and solos. All performers were amazing. Loved seeing Bernadette and Lea together!"

A touching piece of theatre. I loved. everything about it.
"I am usually a harsh critique of theatre. This show was close to perfect. The set, the costumes the enormous talent of the whole cast. I can't rave enough. I see a lot theatre in my hometown of Cleveland. I don't think Bernadette or Lea will travel with this one. Grateful I could see it in NY;."
