Review: STEPHEN SONDHEIM'S OLD FRIENDS, Gielgud Theatre
Genius is an overused term these days, but there is really no other word to attribute to the late composer-lyricist Stephen Sondheim. From Follies, to Gypsy, to A Little Night Music to West Side Story; few other people have had such a profound impact on musical theatre.
