NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE & PRE-BROADWAY ENGAGEMENT!

Celebrate the life and work of the great Stephen Sondheim, with an irresistible company headlined by none other than Tony Award® winners Bernadette Peters and Lea Salonga. Stephen Sondheim’s Old Friends comes to Broadway from London’s West End, where it earned a bevy of 5-star raves and was hailed by The Times as “unmissable musical theatre.”

We are thrilled to welcome beloved director Matthew Bourne back to the Ahmanson Theatre in this glorious new production devised by renowned producer Cameron Mackintosh that will feature the return of Lea Salonga (last seen at the Mark Taper Forum in Flower Drum Song), along with Bernadette Peters making her long- awaited CTG debut.

Center Theatre Group will present the North American premiere of Old Friends at the Ahmanson Theatre in advance of the Broadway premiere at the Manhattan Theatre Club on March 25, 2025.
