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!"

If you love Sondheim, a must see

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;."

Lea Salonga was awesome!
"Felt really lucky and glad that Lea Salonga was back to perform the night we saw the show. Bernadette Peters and the entire cast beautifully sang Sondheim favourites. A truly memorable experience for my family. "

The best best show in many years!
"The entire show was great! We don’t remember a show where all of the actors were fantastic! Equally in their performances, singing and movement across the stage! The sound system, lighting, costumes, stage props and scenery were excellent! The production was a real tribute to one of the best! My sister was on Broadway many years ago! I grew up with one of the top producers on Broadway today! I was a theater critic in college and I have seen hundreds of Broadway shows. My step daughter was a ABC producer! All would agree this show was great! My last note would be to say the orchestra and its leader was outstanding, with a hats off to the stage crew, production crew, makeup/ dressing crews, sound and lighting crews! Of course, to an absolutely wonderful lady Bernadette Peters who is always on top of her fantastic performance! Thank you!"

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 "

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."
