About Theatre – a group of local actors/friends – have teamed up to stage the first ever performance in the Lancaster district of Stephen Sondheim’s Putting it Together musical review as a tribute to their good friend Roger Bradley – with all proceeds to Melanoma Charities and the Grand Theatre project.
The show features a series of clever, comic and poignant songs taken from a wide variety of Sondheim’s musicals weaved together against the setting of a cocktail party where the audience witness the relationships (good and bad) and diverse personalities of a host of different characters. The concept was ‘put together’ by Stephen Sondheim and Julia McKenzie as a request to follow up the previous review ‘Side by Side by Sondheim’
Roger Bradley died earlier this year from a melanoma aged 42 having devoted much of his spare time to amateur theatre, both acting and directing. One of his great passions was Sondheim musicals and we welcome the opportunity to stage this particular production (which he had hoped to direct himself) to raise money for two very worthy causes.
You are invited to join us at the party on either Friday 23rd or Saturday 24th November at the Grand Theatre, Lancaster. Tickets are £10 (including programme) and are available from the box office Tel. 64695 – open from 10am to 3pm Monday to Saturday.
Tickets are limited, so pick up the phone and order yours now!
