This wonderful show, which garnered four and five stars from critics and huge acclaim from audiences, must close on 15 February.

Featuring a seamless revue of Sondheim’s most iconic songs, audiences are taken on a journey through the genius of one of musical theatre’s most influential composers and lyricists, all wrapped within a clever and intimate story set at an all-night, black tie party.
