Sondheim on Sondheim Cancelled

Due to inclement weather conditions in both Queensland and New South Wales which have subsequently affected audience numbers and ticket sales, producers of Sondheim on Sondheim have made the difficult decision to cancel the upcoming Australian tour.

All ticketholders will receive a refund.

This is sad news for the cast, crew and audiences, as it was going to be a special night in the theatre.

The original show announcement is below.

Originally produced on Broadway in 2010 and hailed as a "revelatory revue full of wonderful moments", the Tony nominated production of Sondheim on Sondheim is an intimate portrait of the much-loved songwriter in his own words and music.

A star-studded line up of Australian performers including Anton Berezin, Rhonda Burchmore, Fiona Choi, Peter Coleman-Wright, Amy Lehpamer, Ainsley Melham, Anna O’Byrne and Josh Piterman will celebrate the life of virtuoso Stephen Sondheim in the Australian tour of the Tony Award-nominated Sondheim on Sondheim.

A funny, affectionate and revealing tribute to musical theatre’s greatest composer and lyricist, Sondheim on Sondheim is an intimate portrait of the famed musical theatre genius Stephen Sondheim.

To be directed by Tyran Parke (Chess, Follies and Barnum), Sondheim on Sondheim premiered on Broadway in 2010 and will tour to Sydney’s Capitol Theatre, Brisbane’s QPAC Concert Hall and Melbourne’s Hamer Hall.

Hailed as a "revelatory revue full of wonderful moments", Sondheim on Sondheim is an intimate portrait of the much-loved songwriter in his own words and music. Through the use of exclusive interview footage, audiences get an inside look at the personal life and artistic process of famed composer, Stephen Sondheim.

Ranging from the beloved to the obscure, the carefully selected two-dozen songs delve into Sondheim's personal life and artistic process.
