It has been announced that the St James Theatre will host the London premiere of Stephen Sondheim’s Putting it Together next year. The production will run between 14th January and 1st February 2014 before Urinetown opens at the theatre.
First produced by Cameron Mackintosh in New York with Julie Andrews over 20 years ago, the London premiere (which is being produced by Robert Mackintosh, the St. James Theatre and Hilary A Williams) will star West End regulars David Bedella, Daniel Crossley, Janie Dee, Damian Humbley and Caroline Sheen. The production will be directed by Alastair Knights, choreographed by Matthew Rowland with Musical Supervision by Alex Parker.
Sir Cameron Mackintosh said: “I couldn’t be more delighted that my brother, Robert, is presenting the London premiere of Sondheim’s review ‘Putting it Together’ – a companion piece to Side by Side by Sondheim that I put together with Julia MacKenzie in England many years ago starring Diana Rigg and subsequently in New York with Julie Andrews and Carol Burnett."
He continued to say: "Robert’s theatre, the stylish and innovative St. James should prove the perfect venue for Sondheim’s brilliant, witty and moving material culled from many of his great musicals. ‘Putting it Together’ is a musical theatrical cocktail that promises to leave audiences shaken, stirred and highly entertained.”
