Stephen Sondheim is adored by music theatre performers with a religious fervour and that devotion was plain to see on the stage of the Hayes Theatre. His timeless lyrics and character driven songs resonate deeply.
A smorgasbord of well known and more obscure Sondheim songs were crafted into an engaging concert presentation. It was beautifully sung, orchestrated with a delightful small on-stage ensemble of clarinet, double bass, cello and keyboard, and moulded together with dramatic lighting and choreography.
