Stephen Sondheim died last year, so on this first anniversary, the yahrzeit of his passing, JW3 is hosting a special evening to celebrate this unique Jewish innovator of musical theatre.
Join international stars and West End performers who will be sharing their favourite songs, stories and memories. And we will hear of how his legacy is influencing a new generation of Jewish musical theatre makers.
Devised by Adam Lenson and Neil Marcus.
The JW3 music programme has been kindly sponsored by The Dorset Foundation in memory of Harry Weinrebe.
