Celebrate one of Broadway’s true icons with this legendary theatrical event! Stephen Sondheim’s Old Friends is an irresistible celebration of the master himself, with a company headlined by none other than Tony Award® winners Bernadette Peters and Lea Salonga. Stephen Sondheim’s Old Friends comes to Broadway from London’s West End, where it earned a bevy of 5-star raves and was hailed by The Times as “unmissable musical theatre.”
"Finally got to see Bernadette on Broadway and in a Sondheim show!! I got to see Broadway Royalty!!! The cast is superb and really such a joy to watch this tribute!!! (Lea was out sick)"

Old Friends, New Friends
"Absolutely one of the best things I have ever seen. The singing was incredible. I particularly enjoyed the vignettes from Sondheim's musicals and not just a musical concert. Kudos to Cameron Mackintosh for his incredible genius in putting this together. Bernadette Peters and Lea Salonga were outstanding. The only bad thing about this production is that it has a short run on Broadway, so go see it NOW

Great Voices
"Bernadette Peters and Lea Salonga are the headliner stars, and they were terrific. Peters delivered a poignant “Send in the Clowns” and Salonga belted out “Everything’s Coming Up Roses,” among many wonderful numbers. But the two greats were just part of a large cast of super performers. A Sondheim video montage wrapped it all up very appropriately. All in all, a most enjoyable Broadway show."

Great cast
"We loved the songs we knew...the songs we didn't know not as much...the talent and choreography were amazing...the chance to see Bernadette Peters what more is there to say about that...we wish there was some dialogue or story connecting the songs together...loved that it was a multigenerational cast."

My experience
"I thought the cast was great. There voices were strong. I had some difficulty understanding the words.
The singing was great, but having no idea what it was about, I was reminded I am not a Sondheim fan. My interest were in seeing Bernadette peters and Lea salonga."
