The sophistication, wit, insight, heart and genius of Broadway’s most innovative and influential artist is at the centre of this acclaimed tribute to composer-lyricist Stephen Sondheim. This dazzling array of some of Sondheim's best-known songs features numbers from landmark shows that revolutionised musical theatre with their masterful craft and astounding creativity.
This wonderful show celebrates legendary Sondheim musicals, from the early part of his career, such as West Side Story, Gypsy, Company and A Little Night Music, and features musical theatre standards including Losing My Mind, I’m Still Here, Being Alive and Send In The Clowns.

AMELIA CORMACK's extraordinary voice has seen her perform in musicals such as Priscilla and LoveBites, as well as releasing her debut solo album in 2010.
MARGI DE FERRANTI has wowed audiences in many Australian and international productions including Mamma Mia, Les Misérables and Aspects Of Love.
ENDA MARKEY has appeared in major international productions of Sondheim's Follies and Side By Side By Sondheim. As a solo performer he has toured all over the word appearing in concerts and cabaret.
Popular television personality JESSICA ROWE will narrate the show, exploring the themes in Sondheim's work, with more than a few entertaining anecdotes about this most fascinating talent.
The original production of Side By Side By Sondheim began in London in 1976 to overwhelming success, where it ran for four years. The Broadway production opened in 1977, and enjoyed an incredible run of 390 performances -- largely unprecedented for a simple revue. The show started a trend for sophisticated revues that persists today. To this day, Side by Side By Sondheim remains one of Sondheim's most-performed shows.
Produced on Broadway by Harold Prince in association with Ruth Mitchell.
Presented by arrangement with Hal Leonard Australia Pty Ltd, exclusive agent for Music Theatre International NY
