by Side by Sondheim
directed by Alison
Kingsbury
Chateau de Bettembourg
28th to 31st January 2009
Pirates is proud to present the revue
Side by Side by Sondheim, a biographical compilation of
the best numbers by the maestro of Broadway, Stephen Sondheim.
Side by Side by Sondheim had its premiere on May 4, 1976 at London's
Mermaid Theatre, where it ran for 59 performances. It subsequently
transferred to Wyndham's Theatre and then the Garrick for a grand total of
806 performances. Ned Sherrin directed, but Sondheim also worked with the
cast and made many suggestions. Sherrin also appeared in the show as the
narrator, along with Millicent Martin, Julia MacKenzie and David Kernan.
The show transferred to Broadway (American Actors Equity, unusually,
allowed the British cast to perform) where it ran for a further 384
performances.
With songs such as Broadway Baby, Send in the Clowns, In Buddy’s Eyes and
many more, the musical entertainment tells the story of Sondheim’s musical
genius throughout his extensive career.
The show will be presented at the Château de Bettembourg on 28–31 January
2009 (Wednesday to Saturday) at 8.00 pm.
